What are the units of measurement for the 6 x 6 x 12 dimensions?
Hand balers are widely used for pine straw, and plans for building them are available. Here's one such plan: http://www.ncforestservice.gov/publications/LongleafLeaflets/LL11.pdf.

The length of the clippings will have a big impact on how to bale. Short clippings will be difficult.

If doing this with lawn clippings, I would plan on doing netwrap or something similar... Twine aint gonna cut it.

What about using a tow behind grass sweeper to catch the grass and then using a box with the netting put in and compressing the grass.
When I was doing an image search. I came across this
GrassRoots Ubuntu Block project | Photo which is a picture of harv's Ubuntu Block project. which harv has posted plans on how to make them.

Just needed to mention that you can not bale a grass from a green lawn and expect it to keep. It has to be dried.

I looked into what I figured was a neat composter used for heating. Figured 2 of them would heat the shop. Was thinking I could let people dump grass clippings on my lot. But then I realized that they had to be dry to keep. So much for that.
