Method and system for fabricating structural building blocks

A block press, comprising:

• a chassis including spaced apart bulkheads;
• a block forming apparatus carriage engaged with the chassis between said bulkheads;
• a block forming apparatus including a frame, a compression case and two compression bodies, wherein the frame is releasably engaged with the block forming apparatus carriage;
• wherein the compression case is movably engaged with the frame in a manner enabling movement of the compression case along a longitudinal reference axis of the compression case, wherein the compression case has a compression body receiving passage extending between opposed end faces thereof along the longitudinal reference axis and wherein said compression bodies are movably mounted within the compression body receiving passage of the compression case in a manner enabling movement of said compression bodies along the longitudinal reference axis of the compression case;
• a compression case actuator engaged between one of said bulkheads and the block forming apparatus for facilitating said movement of the compression case;
• a first compression body actuator engaged between a first one of said compression bodies and a first one of said bulkheads for facilitating said movement of the first one of said compression bodies.
