Re: [papercreters] Wood Chipper for papercrete



I would like to know the results of throwing your paper and cardboard into a chipper. That is something that I have been discussing with friends lately, but nobody has a chipper to try it. Pictures would be great, too. How big is your chipper?

I think that after a trip through a chipper then your paper/cardboard should be mixable with a plaster blade on a drill, as well as any of the larger type mixers.

With access to a wood chipper, is there a reason I should NOT use shredded paper/cardboard/etc (I can dump, for instance, cardboard boxes into the chipper by the palletload) as opposed to just dumping the unshredded paper directly into the mixer?  I've seen articles where people bemoan the use of cardboard because it's so difficult to "mix".  I would assume the use of a chipper would resolve this...unless there's a reason I'm not seeing for not using it.
