I am prepared to send it to anyone who sends me a blank email with the subject line: Re: Plans.  Or just "Like" my business Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/vuthisa and click on FREE STUFF, wait for the Iframe page to load and click on the download link.  This way you can also get updates on the development of the square shaped briquette.

I have taught my gardener to make around 20 briquettes per week with the "test briquette maker" you encouraged me to make back in 2003 or there abouts - and the metal press stand is still going strong - just needed another lick of paint and I changed out the wooden block.  The Rhodesian Teak piston is still around but I've switched to a PVC piston now.  Working on a new design to produce some square shaped briquettes for easier storage pressed down inside a square section of gutter downpipe.
