Well, in the midst of all the coronamadness, this seems like a good time to start making soap. Got all my supplies together and will set up on the front porch while it's nice and warm. Masks and goggles required anyway to protect from lye splashes AND covid splashes. My good friend and neighbor can join me for a fun day of playing as we will be all "suited" up and can each have our own table. Anyone else making soap? Do y'all know about Cowboy Toilet Paper ???? :}

Hi everyone,
I am back on and catching up with the many postings. I ran across the one of making soap and I am about ready to try both ways of making it. Several molds have been bought and some other equipment. I have watched videos on Brambleberry and want to watch some on videos too! Want to catch up with everyone here to see everyone's input as well.
I still make our own soap here. I took a class to make shampoo bars, and will be changing my soap making equipment up. Going to use a small stainless steel stock pot for heating oils, and mixing. I will use a plastic tub to mix lye and water in, and a stainless wisk to mix everything. I do use an immersion blender if it is taking a while to trace.
