			'''Procedure for Use'''
			*Step One: Clear mold cavity of any residue left over from previous use of strawboard machine.
			*Step Two: Activate Power Cube. Turn on heating elements to begin pre-heating of chamber.
			*Step Three: Make sure the hydraulic cylinders are in starting position (pressure foot is retracted completely, and lift is extended completely). Verify gear rack is in the forward position.
			*Step Four: Add straw to fill level in hopper (to be determined).
			*Step Five: Move pressure foot forward until cylinder is fully extended, hold for ten seconds.
			*Step Six: Retract pressure foot.
			*Step Seven: Move gear rack back one length.
			*Step Eight: Repeat steps four to seven until desired length is achieved.
			*Step Nine: Lower lift cylinders.
			*Step Ten: Move gear rack back to forward position and remove completed strawboard.
			*Step Eleven: Raise lift cylinders back to starting position.
			*Step Twelve: Repeat steps four to eleven until desired amount of strawboard has been produced.
			*Step Thirteen: Turn off Power Cube and heating elements.
			*Step Fourteen: After sufficient time has gone by and machine has completely cooled, clean machine of debris to ensure future quality.
			*Step Fifteen: Build civilization.

	*For the back end of the mold (opposite the side with the hydraulic ram), we were thinking of using a power screw/rack and pinion/pneumatic system that would move back roughly 3-4 inches after every stroke of the ram, and at the end will reverse direction to push the finished product out.
