Here you go... The wire passes through TWO slotted acrylic guides on EACH side, the inner one is fixed (after being accurately located) with a pin and has a mm scale that ranges from 20 to 70mm The outer guide has a vertical sliding movement of about 6mm and there are several slots in both...

Soap slice cutter It's all acrylic apart from the base which is bamboo. The arm itself is a laminated 'sandwich' of 3 acrylic parts, with the middle one doing the work of holding the wire end. The acrylic is normally clear, I only used black for that one because I'd temporarily run out, and it...

Hi all, I've been member of the forum for a while but I'm not a soap maker. As I've received a couple of reminders to ask 'How's it going?', and I don't want to lose forum membership, I thought it would be a good idea to post a photo or two of some of the tools made for soap makers in New...
