I have been bringing my soaps to church as I make them to let the ladies smell them. I know crazy soap lady! They are a very supportive group. My next door next door neighbour is also a member of our church and her husband is very handy. So I showed them some pictures of a wire cutter on my phone. She thought he would be too busy so suggested I show them to her Dad. Bob (also part of our church) told me to get him some pictures and he would see what he could do. He was/is a cabinet maker, lock smith all around handy type guy (at 88 he worked everyday until this last year). I told him what they cost online and said I would pay him. After he was finished with a project for his grand daughter he started on this for me. I also secretly wanted a piece from Bob, this last year you can really see his decline physically, having something made by him is very special, I will treasure it.
That is one of my favourite parts! I have a wood cutter box with those little tiny wing ones and my fingers just don't spin it so well. This hook is easy peasy for me to use. I am one happy soaper with this cutter.
Congratulations on your cutter I would love to have one of these. I hope to learn how to make make my own. I am going to book into a carpentry class to see if I can make my own wooden moulds and a wire cutter.
Thanks for the input...it does make sense as the soap would get into the natural wood cracks.
The husband is definitely lucky, he has you and the opportunity to support you in your soap making passion! I found the dimensions somewhere on line with pictures.
