Curing Rack

[BroknArrw]

Had my babysitter make me a curing rack. Just over 4 feet wide.

Looks beautiful!!! Your so lucky.

Are the shelves made or of 2 rond timber slats? Or it it flat?

 

[BroknArrw]

The shelves are wooden dowels. They came in 4feet.

 

[Roselyne]

Oh right, and that wouldn't mark fresh soap?

 

[BroknArrw]

So far so good...

I'd love my husband to do the same for me, i'm thinking behind the back door so it does take a lot of space and is out of the way.. yhank for sharing, yours looks class

Those look great! I love the wooden dowel idea; so innovative!

What size soaps? Are those oak dowels? Asking because they seem to have little to no bow in the center. I'm drying my soaps on a cookie drying rack right now, and the rack is bowed from the soap weight and running out of space What size bars do you make?

 

[SaltedFig]

Nice!

Soap are eyed up at an about inch; I am doing 1.25 inch now. He said 3/8 inch dowels, not Oak.
Dowels are 4 feet wide. The center wood helps strengthen since its in the middle holding the dowels which go through holes he drilled in center piece.

That's fantastic. May it bring you much happy curing.
I must get onto making something soon. My few recent noob-soap-making efforts have now exceeded the curing / drying space I have. I'm using an outside shed, so potentially have a lot of space ... just nothing set aside and usable for soap racking. Soon™.
The main benefit, so far, is that the shed interior now smells great. Peach last weekend, and lavender and orange (separately) this week.

I know this is an old thread, but do you know if the solid pieces are 1 x 4, or 2 x 4? Thanks.

The member you're quoting hasn't been here since March, 2018. Not likely to get a response.

Dowels are 3/8” and soaps are up to 1 1/4”, so it looks like the side and top pieces are probably 1x4s.
