THE WORKSHOP. How to make a wood soap mold for making homemade soap bars..

[@annek1226]

Expanding your horizons! Isn’t it amazing how you learn so much from each other! Melissa gets to enjoy doing things she enjoys and you get the challenge of finding easier ways to do it! Great team! Have fun guys! When you stop and think about it, you two could put together a nice little side business making molds to market and s tidy little profit to boot!

[@amyfletcher4749]

That was quick and easy and cheap..couldn't ask for more..lol

[@cosmoskytech5545]

Nice video, very simple design, I would try it out, thanks

[@harryleichtweis3378]

Thanks for showing how it's made. Looking forward to how to make soap. As always, I really enjoy your videos.

[@AFrolicsomeMind]

Hello! I’m a beginner soap maker and also woodworker (very, very beginner) and I just want to thank you for sharing this video, wow. Your home woodshop is super impressive. I’ve been to a community woodshop local to me but it’s a pain to get in there because of the hours. You just showed me that you can have all of those same tools in your personal home woodshop. And as I’m looking for a wooden soap mold for my loaves I’m just amazed by the idea of this mold that just essentially falls away from the soap after it has hardened. What a concept! Thanks so much! I will be buying a mold for now because, like I said, beginner here and I used a jigsaw for the first time a couple of weeks ago (loved it though) but I’ll be coming back to your video to make this! I wonder if you sell your mold. I’d love to support a family business, especially since you have provided this content at no cost. I’ll try to find the answer to this now. Thanks again!

[@banyantree8618]

My wife makes her own soap, we and her friends love using it. Took a long time and a few tears to get it right.......

[@redhauscreator146]

Now you'll have to have Melissa show us how to make soap. Good design on a little project.

[@brandnewayurveda1835]

Wow.....Best...Best....Best....

[@12ernie]

Great video!

[@jacquelinewells7575]

Pretty good job Joe. Those ought to work out really well.

[@terrymonroe5287]

Morning Joe, always good to see you on video especially making wood objects... Hope all is going well, say hello to Melissa and see you on the next video 😀...

[@imari2305]

Good Morning Joe. Your molds turned out amazing. I've been researching on how to make soap and pricing all of the supplies are expensive. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills nor the tools you have to build my own so until I can I'll just keep watching you and others make their own. Melissa is going to be thrilled when she sees them :-). Peace and love.

[@susanconrad352]

Making soap is not expensive. You can use a cardboard box for a mold and line it with a plastic bag. All of my oils (NOT essential or fragrance oil!) can be purchased at Walmart. Lye can be purchased from Lowe's (get the Roebic 100% pure lye). You can buy essential oils in Hobby Lobby until you feel confident enough to order them from online. Colorants can be cocoa, beta carotene (from the vitamin aisle), or even pureed carrots. soapmakingforum.com is an awesome resource for information!

[@IamAli89]

Good morning work dear 😊 I guess later on you have done some resin work or may be something like that over the mold for a sleek or slippery touch?

[@lindamiller2399]

Show us one when you're using the board one. I love homemade soap. I bought one bar at our local fair for my dogs to bath with. They smelled so nice. Lavender is my favorite. I got Rosemary and Mint given to me for Christmas at the church.

[@jksatte]

Those look really good. you did a great job. I bet you could sell a few of those as well. Janice

[@davidharris6581]

I know you have talked about it before but it still seems strange you are so neat about the tent and so casual & laid back about the shop. Seems like two different men. :)

[@NorthernSeclusion]

More than just I use the shop. My Dad comes over and uses it, one of the guys that works for me uses it. I will clean up my messes but not theirs.

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

That was a cool project mate. Enjoyed it. ATB Moose.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Nice, simple and will last a lifetime. Not bad for a few pieces of scrap eh !

[@REB65]

Awesome 👍 Take care and God bless ✌️

[@GrowWithMe420]

line the inside with wax paper before pouring. They pop out very easily then. I make hemp infused soaps with the same style box cradle and the wax paper really helps! Cheers!

[@coolcatcarolena4951]

Melissa you should start her own channel. "How to make soap" could be your first video 🤗

[@amyfletcher4749]

CoolCat Carolena she won't even let him film her.lol

[@coolcatcarolena4951]

amy fletcher she doesn't have yo be on camera 🤗 I know success channels that never show the person

[@trishstewart6135]

Joe, I love your soap mold and it is definitely on my list! Would you consider doing a video on how to make a log splitter type of cutter? It allows you to cut the soap loaf horizontally in half. I would love to see you make one.

[@marilynmaune3642]

I know this was done 5 years ago. Would you consider making a long (5#) wood loaf mold? I don’t have tools or skills to make one myself.

[@bonniebrier7174]

wow what's next ? A man with all trades. You keep busy no matter what lol

[@kennymysak2079]

Next time you could buy threaded rod in your 5/ 16 and cut to the length you want but I like the 3/8 rod idea better just a idea. Nice idea it will work better than though plastic ones. Keep up the great video's

[@somjaijang7743]

Do you do custom soap mold?

[@artsmith103]

Threaded rod for the bolt lengths. Use push sticks on the table saw.

[@fazalkhan4788]

great job bro

[@marismith2612]

Can you please send the information to buy one of your molds

[@catlockhart6965]

Now we want to see the soap making process and the finished product.

[@suzisaintjames]

I hope you do a video on the soap making too. I'll be asking... For seriously greasy hands does the home made soap work good? I like Lava soap not just for the little scrubbing particles but because I can get the grease off my hands with just one washing. But I like knowing what goes into my products and want to start making my own. Essential oils are great, but soap needs to clean. ❤🌅🌵

[@johntaglia9378]

You could have used threaded rod also. Great job

[@brodshooter]

you could replace the bolt with all thread and make them any length you want, great video

[@normanellis198]

Joe I order some of the johnny seasoning. Haven't got it yet. Hope it's good.... Lol

[@aikendrum3906]

Excuse my ignorance, but I'm guessing once you get the 'loaf' out you cut it down lengthwise to a 'normal' bar of soap length. Then you tie a ribbon around it and give to the neighbors for Christmas. :)

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Keep watching, my next soap project will be making a bar cutter. Stay tuned.

[@duaneklein5951]

Do you urethane the mold? It seems like if you waxed it, it may make the soap release easier as well. Never having made it myself, it is just a guess. Thanks for the video. Garden looks good. Hard to keep up with everything coming on so quickly and at the same time. Like your butcher party, it will soon be time to get everyone together to can and preserve!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

You wrap the inside with wax paper before pouring in the liquid.

[@astheroostercrows6435]

I will line it with wax paper

[@duaneklein5951]

Makes sense! Thank you for explaining. I learn a lot by watching. I appreciate it!

[@karolmolitor4675]

Was want to see Melissa's soap!

[@garylollman5339]

Hope you show the making of the soap in the molds along with ingredients.

[@823Steve]

Buy a length of all-thread and cut it to the length you need and use a nut on each side. 1/4x20 is all you need.

[@suzisaintjames]

Hmmmm? Don't you need a groove so the liquid soap doesn't seep out from under the bottom of the removable sides? ❤🌅🌵

[@NorthernSeclusion]

You wrap the inside with wax paper before you pour in the soap.

[@marilynmaune3642]

Would you make 5 or 6 of those for me at a price

[@theresadupuis8475]

Good Morning and Watch Your Fingers !!!!🐾🐾😍

[@heavenscenthomestead4242]

I'm a soap maker and the wood box should be lined with freezer paper. Lots of videos out there on how to do that. I personally follow the directions from Bittercreek Candle supply in Ashland Wisconsin.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Thats what we have done in the past.

[@carlplath1]

You might have created a cottage industry.

[@kevjo13]

Nice job Joe, what is ur guys favorite smelling soap?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Lavender is nice.

[@חנהזרד-ע5י]

Can you write in centimetres the dimensions?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

N I can not.

[@חנהזרד-ע5י]

@@NorthernSeclusion WHy?

[@dawnlindgron5570]

Yes show us how you guys make it

[@theonlyquilt]

you should do a video on how to make the soap

[@NorthernSeclusion]

We will this winter.

[@pattiwhite9575]

The best soap I ever tried was olive oil and goats milk

[@fathimessaimessai4410]

Next time we see how to make a wooden mold used in the manufacture of lead paper and thank you

[@pipsweeney]

Sara could sell some at the market. Made for fun and money?

[@pipsweeney]

The soap I mean Lol

[@jamespotter936]

Joe you should have used the router and put your name in the bottom of them.

[@pattiwhite9575]

That did not go they way I thought it would. I've never seen soap molds before. I have purchased soap before. But, what I thought you were going to do was make little molds in shapes by whittling down into the wood areas to pour many moulds on one sheet of wood. You now the fancy kinds in ladies powder rooms. Ha Ha I crack myself up

[@sixteenstone007]

Joe you keep everything neat and organized but your workshop. Looks like that would bother you.. I hate working in a mess

[@3vilHmongkey]

Cockadoodle Doo at the end

[@genethrushman9895]

whats with the canoe?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

My Dad made that last winter.

[@willpugh8998]

All thread? Can update 2.0 v. But you can sell me one!

[@chuckmac618]

How do you make homemade soap

[@NorthernSeclusion]

We will do videos on it.

[@snugglemonster1239]

Olive Oil - 40% Coconut Oil - 30% Palm Oil - 20% Sweet Almond Oil - 5% Castor Oil - 5% Superfat - 5% Lye Concentration (ie. Lye Solution Strength) - 35.2% alot of soap makers use diff oils and what not this is just a simple one then they use essential oils and stuff to color

[@snugglemonster1239]

this is another :5% Castor Oil 10% Cocoa Butter 20% Coconut Oil 55% Olive Oil ( I prefer Rice bran but you can use either for a great soap) 10% Shea Butter Additives: (optional) 5% Cream (Subtract from water amount) 1 TBSP each per lb of oils Kaolin Clay Colloidal Oatmeal Goat Milk Powder Tussah silk for lye solution (small pinch will do, about the size of a pea) 1 teaspoon of color per lb of soap

[@susanconrad352]

If you haven't tried a high lard soap, you are doing yourself quite a disservice! Makes a lovely creamy lather! Lard 65% Olive Oil 15% Coconut Oil 15% Castor Oil 5%

[@JustinHallowesOutdoors]

Chuck Mac use deer fat works too!

[@gsheac]

so make them and make some$$$$

[@hankspooner9023]

I will just spend 10k on a work shop and get started.

[@garzonlaperle9403]

Woodprix Blueprints has some very useful blueprints with all the details you need.

[@sophialow340]

I think you can do it yourself, just watch and learn from Stodoys.

[@mariannamicci-fritz141]
