soap cutting

[ladyj]

Another question...I am so tired of cutting soap the way I have been. My husband made me a simple contraption of wood. I basically slide the rectangular log of soap to the thickness I want and slice. He even made me a two handled cutting knife! Lots of time and not very accurate.
I've seen box molds w\plexi inserts and I love this concept. Does anyone know how to make one?

So much inspiration at this forum! I am so impressed!

I know it hun- I need too- I have soap and balms to buy from others because I want to try them- but Christmas shopping- ugggg- too much money already spent!
Paul has like 10 molds I want- that's right Paul one of each lol- I wish I could- but I showed them to my fiancee so I might be getting one for christmas and a soap cutter- even after Christmas whatever I just want them!
Anyway- glad your site is back up and running- I saw it a few days ago while responding to a post! You have pretty soap I think I like the dragonfly the best!

Thanks sweety, that seems to be everyones favorite. I got those molds on Ebay for $3.00

I think I am gonna have to find some more! I only have 2 right now.

There are lots on there- Jody's soap and things or chelseas soap garden have them- they may be a little pricier than 3.00 but not by much... sometimes you've gotta love the prices on Ebay!

Soap cutting is the bane of my soapmaking too...

I just made a batch of Castile soap, I think I will have my hubby slice it. He is stronger than me and way more of a perfectionist.

Ok love the heck outta Jody's!!! I get all my containers from her, and I got some FO's from her too. She is great and fast!!!

 

[leansoapqueen]

I'm with ya sister- same here- containers- fo's etc..- Can't be the container prices on there- I think I got 20 low profile 2oz butter jars for 9.00- lids and all! They may have even been cheaper!
She has a stellar mold deal going on too right now- I need to snatch it up on Monday unless I get paid sooner- It's like 20 molds for 38.00- cute ones too- then you get 2 free and 1 can even be a 3 D or tart mold- call me crazy but I think that is a great deal!

Also, maybe my hubby should cut mine! Good idea- put him to work!

 

[dragonfly princess]

I order a bunch of stuff from her today! Crap I didn't notice she was havin a dang sale! Well Maybe I will have her add some stuff to my order! Off to shop!! My hubby will kill you now!

 

[Zenobiah]

Who is Jody and where can I find her sale?

 

[leansoapqueen]

Jody is on Ebay-
She also has a website- soapandthings.com
On Ebay- her store is called Jody's Soap and Creations and her Ebay screen name is soapandthings- if you run a store search put her store name in- and that should pull it up-
Here's an item number this is easier to search- 110108595515- that is a mold set but you can look at her store from there!
You'll be pleased if you order from her from either place!

 

[leansoapqueen]

LOL- he has to beat mine first- who already wants to for my shopping!

 

[Zenobiah]

That is so cool!

Oh, and I found the dragonfly mold:
