Made this out of an old window and some scrap lumber.

I make beard balms and other slaves etc. I have gone down this rabbit hole a lot. The science of scent and fragrance is rather intriguing and quite extensive. A good place to start is Aftelier perfumes. https://www.aftelier.com/Aftelier-Natural-Perfume-Wheel-p/wb-wheel.htm If you are wanting...

Grain alcohol/everclear.

On airbase there is a template called GOYA. It has a TON of uses

I am unsure if you can add this to a lotion but lanolin helps me a lot. I get dry cracked skin in the winter unless I use a salve that contains lanolin. The salve I make has pine resin infused tallow, lanolin, cupuacu butter, emu oil, and jojoba butter. At some point I'll probably experiment...

Made a drawing salve the other day. I usually make beard balms but since we live in a farm bug bites, slivers, etc are a way of life!

Look up the app Airtable and the template GOYA. It's a fantastic resource

Ivermectin and raw milk

That link I provided for Apothecary's Garden. He sells it

The sandalwood probably wouldn't dissolve but it would give you an excellent aroma and mild exfoliating!

I do one part resin to three parts oil.

Oh boy. Your eyes a out to be opened to a whole new world! Check out Apothecary's Garden. He has a plethora of items. I use him a lot. As a disclaimer I am not getting anything my recommending his site. https://apothecarysgarden.com/collections

I have a 6 quart and I usually only do 500 gram (oil weight) at a time. It has plenty of room. I could honestly probably triple it. **Edit: I do hot process soap.**

Here is a small update on this. It has obviously been longer than a month since I started aging the vinegar with oak lol. Life happened and time got a way from me so today I will put the myrrh resin in the vinegar and begin that infusion process. Stay tuned!

Kitchen counters and cabinets. Butcher block mostly

I am unsure where to post this but I am attempting to make a homemade kitchen cleaner. This is what I am doing. I would love some feedback. Infusing white vinegar with different herbs. The herbs I am using are rosemary, thyme, mint, lemon balm, orange peel, pine needles. Cedar leaves, yarrow...

We raise dairy goats and the milkfat that is separated is what is used to make the butter. The milkfat does go through a mechanical process (think a butter churn) to make it solidify so it definitely undergoes a change. The smell from butter or ghee could be from using too much or it could be...

I think it was definitely the molasses. I did a second batch and added it at the very end and it was a lot better. I think the lanolin contributed to it some as well.

That's a great point about the alkalinity and the metal. I just wanted to be sure it was getting a lot of airflow. I have a large silicone mat I can use. Thanks for that insight!
