I plan to make mine with cedar planks, I checked today and they had no good wood so I passed until the next shipment. I will be using dowels and clamps to hold it together so the whole thing can come apart. It will be variable from 1lb to 4lb so that it can hold different amounts. I plan on...

Yea I couldn't wait on my first batch I used a small bar last night and its only been curing for 3 or 4 days. I was like OH FORGET IT I DON'T HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN. I don't regret it ether. I did find it does lather better then I thought. Now if I can only figure out why my skin is...

I have decided I would be building my first mold. I will post pictures when I am done. Has anyone got any suggestions of things I should add? Just so you all know I have been around just too busy to post as I have been busy getting another business started. I will be opening its doors...

After talking with a friend of mine he mentioned that I should wait as my motor has been quiting on me latly and I cant afford to get a new one anytime soon. So I will take his advice and wait :cry:

I won't be landing on water. I will have what looks like an extra gas tank on the thing. This is water tight. I just hope it holds all the lye as its kinda small. Luckly my bike is part of the plane. The wheels are my bikes wheels and the bike itslef fits into the tail section. I built this...

I have only crashed once and that was when I was 16 and didn't know how to deal with the wind. I was landing and went into a barbed wire fence, with not even a scratch to me had to fix plane though. I have lost my motor 18 times and never crashed after that first one. I am always on the lookout...

Ok I was just looking for airports that would allow my plane to land between here and snowdrift farms. I found I will have no problem with the flight and was wondering if you all would feel comfortable haling lye in a plane? Is there any regulations that would prevent me from doing so? (I...

Those look wonderful. Cant complain about anything there. The one you said should be pink looks pink in the photo.

Lard 45%, olive oil 35%, and coconut 20% and a little bit of peppermint EO at trace.

I posted this picture in the CP forum but thought I would put it here for *#?@'s and Giggles. This is my very first batch. It has taught me alot of what to do different.

TY and yes I really really like the color of it. All natural and no colorant. I think it has a better look then store brands and even though its fresh I think its still less harsh. I will not use any for about 4 weeks and even then I will run a ph test on it first. If its ok then I will use some...

Learned allot and will do some things different. First off I will never use the disposable plastic things for molds again. I sprayed them first and it still stuck. I had to cut out my soap and that was a pain in the but. The shape wasn't what I was hoping for and its just a pain. If you...

I will be cutting at around 9 tonight. That will give it just short of 24 hours. I think that should be fine. I peeked in just a little bit ago and it was soft sold. It was warm to the touch and burned the tip of my finger off (ok my finer never burned). So I do think it turned out fine. It...

I am glad I only made a 3lbs batch as this was almost too small of a bowl to make my soap in. I will be buying a different vessel and using this one for 3lbs and below as that is the most I can use it for.

I don't know if every Wal-Mart has it or not. We have a new supper Wal-Mart and I got it in the grocery section. They seem to have more of everything else that I don't need and less of what I am looking for LOL except the grocery section that is defiantly nice.
