A planer and bevelor

[Lildlege1]

Yayy finally received my bevelor and it makes my soap so pretty !!! A big difference .I love it!!!

 

[Soapsense]

Pretty! Where did you get them?

 

[shunt2011]

Very pretty. I have been beveling with a potatoe peeler for 3 years but recently ordered one and am waiting for it to be delivered. I got mine from For Crafts Sake.

 

[Lildlege1]

Shunt, I ordered mine from etsy and it came in today and it made a huge difference in the appearance in my soap thank God!!! Lol

 

[Lildlege1]

Oh and i only paid 25.00 for it and free shipping yayyy lol

Do you have to shave off much to get a nice surface? Your finished bar looks great.

I replied to another post regarding planing/bevelling soaps and I love it. Mine doesn't take too much off each bar but if you clean up a whole batch the shavings start to add up. What does everyone do with all their shavings?

 

[Saponista]

Wow that really makes a huge difference, is it easy to do? How long would it take to do a batch of say 10 bars?

I've ordered one and it should arrive tomorrow. I can't wait.

 

[Lildlege1]

I dint have to shave much off just a very little. It's very easy to do it took me maybe 5 to 10 minutes for about 8-10 bars .
Thanks y'all . I love it !! It was a great investment , its worth the money because it does make a big difference on my soap.

It came today!!! Now to bring my little grandkids down to the basement so we can play.

 

[Lildlege1]

Be careful cause I sliced my finger wide open today.

Yep- I call mine the paring knife- 1 dollar at the dollar store- works great! ok...I cant afford the beveler but my paring knife does work great! Just sayin.....

 

[Lin]

I want so badly as well! But its gonna be a loooong time until I can afford one. Hell, I still need my own scale and stick blender!

 

[shunt2011]

Mine is only a beveler which is fantastic for my purposes as I don't need to plane them. I love mine, no blade but a wire that bevels like a dream. I did 300 bars in about an hour and a half. I'm in heaven!

Love my planer/beveler! I got the one from Etsy also. I'm saving all of my shreds in a bucket (we all have plenty of leftover empty buckets amirite) and when it's full I'm going to HP it and send the resulting bars to Clean the World.

My husband made my planer from scrap wood in the garage and instructions he got off of net. There are videos on making them on you tube too.

 

[Lin]

Oooh, do you have the instructions? My dad does some woodworking and I recently sent him photos of multi wire cutters and asked if he could try making one. He said he could, so now I'm trying to find plans for that... But a planer should be much easier! Durrr, can't believe I didn't think of that. And I have a cheese wire cutter now so I don't need a multicutter soon, while I could sure use a planer right away...

I love the beveler but not the shaving. I like my bars the size they are and if shave them it alters the weight enought to where I don't like it. I just polish the ones that aren't so perfect and the rest after beveling the edges they are packaged. Besides, I don't have time with the volume of soap I make to worry about shaving them. I can bevel 100+ in less than 45 minutes.

I enjoy turning my shreds and shavings into confetti soap. See: https://www.google.com/search?q=confetti+soap and http://candleandsoap.about.com/od/soaprecipes/ss/confettishreds.htm
