I don't have pictures of my collection as it all got put into boxes when I moved. I don't have a place to put them yet. I do have a picture of the bales I make. These are 1/16th scale exactly. They stack pretty nicely. tied with single strand copper wire. it was the only thing soft enough for the knotters to twist and cut correctly. The baler that bales them is also boxed away. I haven't touched it in 5 years or so. It took me about 2 years of spare time to design and build the baler and get it to tie correctly. getting the fescue cut up to the correct size before stuffing the baler is the hard part. It has to be pretty fine grass for the baler to make an even tight bale.
I had lot of interest from people wanting to buy bales from me, but, I have trouble getting the bales to all be the exact same length, unless the grass gets fed very very evenly and slowly. I still need to do some tweaking of the metering system. IT's hard to make stuff on a small scale using a full scale technique. It's like "reinventing the metering wheel"
