Cob: tamping

If  you are interested to use cob in a form and tamp it, the pneumatic ones are expensive - about $1500 from what I found. You could rent them, Home Depot rents them for $55 a day (also cost prohibitive). But you could also just use the tamping method by hand. 
They do sell a hand tamper for $36. It is just a heavy piece of metal with two handles. You could make one yourself, but for $36 bucks, why. 
How do you put out a burning Kotex? You tampon it!
