From Dan Schellenberg, James' collaborator,  on October 27, 2011:
 
Dan here to say how impressed I was with James and the work he did to build this block press! Incredible for someone with zero fabrication experience! Very encouraging to my African friends who came with me to check it out!
See the following pic. for the whole group on site. Then #3 pic is of the blocks we made. Should have been kept to 4 inches thick to stop "loafing" and stress fractures inside at 3000psi but hey that's easy. Can't wait till it is automatic!
