I'm going to start this off by saying, I am not a woodworker. I have never built ANYTHING. I do not understand the first thing about hammering a nail straight. However, I WANT a soap mold very very badly. Pringles containers only work for so long before you yearn for that fancy wooden soap mold that all the grown up soapers have
I have sort of an idea of what I would like and an idea about how to go about it that would most likely have me laughed out of...well, everywhere.
I would like it loaf shaped. I was thinking if I had the bottom piece of wood and on the long sides I had maybe 3 nails on each side sticking up. I could have the long sides with three holes in the bottom that I could put over the nails. Then I would like the two pieces of wood on the ends that would be held in place maybe the same way. Hopefully with a third 'end' piece that I could fit inside wherever I'd like to turn what I'm hoping would be a four pound mold into one or two or three.
Is this making any sense to anyone? Sounding like a good idea at all? Would hinges be better than the nails? Oh goodness I am so confused and I'm rather hopeless when it comes to anything like this. I would dearly like to have one, and if it means making it myself i am willing to try.
