If you can get a break down of the parts and measurements and how It goes together I can build it. And i do believe I may have most of the materials at hand to build this thing as well
How about this: http://www.lehmans.com/store/Stoves___Hearth_Accessories___Stove_Fuel___Newspaper_Brick_Maker___17120626?Args=
They ship to Canada
Now that's a good idea. Thanks for the post Duffmanprepper and for the link BCPrepGirl. I see that is on backorder right now bust at $32 I doubt I could build it for that. Definitely something to keep in mind.

and also found this
A great way to recycle newspapers and an invaluable tool used in parts of the world where firewood is not readily available. Compressed wet newspaper dries into 8-1/2" x 3-1/4" bricks that burn at the rate of about 4 per hour. Just soak newspaper (mix with sawdust and chopped grass if desired) and fill brick maker, then press down on handles. Remove brick and allow to dry, then use like wood in your stove. ■Made of heavy painted steel
■10-1/4"L x 5-1/4"H
■5-3/4lb

so just to keep everyone posted i ordered the brick maker waiting for it to get here and still making my own ones with the press i made so far so good it takes about 2 weeks for all the water to get out and they burn for 1-2 hours the logs i made are 4 inch tube by 12 inchs long

That's great. Please share how the one you ordered does. I've been thinking about buying one, but wasn't sure on how effective it was.
I'vw seen videos where a man makes the fire bricks out of leaves also
There's an interesting idea too. There is no reason why leaves would not work either. We have tons of waste paper so I thought making fire logs out of it would be a good ecologically friendly way to "recycle" it. Have tons of leaves in the fall too. Most of them go into the compost pile but this would be an interesting use. Can't wait until Duffman gets the unit and tries it out
I would believe any fibrous material would work. In countries such as India, fuel bricks are made from cow dung and straw. I have no practical experience in that area so I couldn't tell you what that would smell like but depending on what you were trying to heat and where ...
You could try getting wood chips or sawdust from a small operation sawmill or construction site. Where I am, that kind of stuff eventually gets hauled to the dump or burned on-site.
Any ranchers/farmers with hay that can't be used for feeding livestock, leftover straw, etc. Places with large lawns to maintain always need to dispose of the cut grass.
Until our local post office removed the garbage bins, people would always scavenge for discarded flyers to use as firestarter in their wood stoves.

hey guys tried leaves but not sure how they are for burning waiting for the brocks to dry and never thought about using sawdust and stuff will for sure try that

It just came to mind that pellet stoves were quite popular here a few years ago and there were plans on a pellet making plant that was going to make use of the leftover wood and chips from the local sawmills.
If you google around a bit for wood pellets, you can find plenty of suggestions for combustible pellet materials that could also serve for your brick maker. There's also some youtube videos on making your own pellets, whether you ever decided to go that route or just garner ideas for burnable materials.

so i put a few of my logs in my fire place and i had 2 in there and with some cedar strips to help it wend for 2 and a half hours but the main thing is they have to be dry like fully dry or they dont work
