Soap Makers

[Bob Myers]

Any you guys have a spouse(or do it yourself) that is into Soap Making? If so, what are they using to cut the loaf after curing?

I've been a member here for 4 years. This might be the most unique question I've ever seen here. LOL.

I'm suppose to know that but for the life of me , I can't remember. A piece of wire comes to mind, but I really don't think that's it. My Grandma use to make lye soap all the time, but she may have just used a kitchen butcher knife.

My wife was just making soap at the waterloo farm museum yesterday. She said to use a wire or a cheese cutter.

My grandmother and mother made soap and they used a cheese grater and it would then be put in a plastic bread bag till it was time to use.

OK, reason I ask is my wife does soaps and candles , etc. I am about to build her a device, using wire, that will cut 12 bars at once. Just wondered if any one here had a soap maker in the family that may be interested in such a device.

Ok had to find one a bit better. LOL Its been years since I saw a deminstration but I think it was sort of a square frame and had like piano wire across it. Would it help if you did it with the wire and induced low voltage to help "melt" the soap and candles?http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2928/1114/1600/Fair060006.jpg

the cheddar cheese slicer , the type that kinda looked like a small fret or scroll saw with the rough wire strung tight.
