at the end of this series, you should make like a movie where you put together a bunch of clips using all the tools you made. i think this would be really cool

Hi htme! Just some thoughts, I think your soap ended up so brittle because of salt contaminants in your lye, as olive oil soap is usually very soft.

I expected them to invent the microscope first.

Thanks to your comment I am well prepared

I was coming to make the same comment! I made soap once with modern ingredients: lye and beef tallow, that you buy in the store. I certainly didn’t make anything from scratch, lol. But I do remember having to wrap the soap mold in a blanket and let it cure for 4 to 6 weeks before it was safe to touch according to the directions that came with the kit that I used.

I was looking for this comment as this was the method of lye production I was more familiar with (and ergo the method I was expecting in the video). I also thought this was the older/more-traditional method comparatively.

@@Electracion It's also simpler, if you don't have a mine nearby, since, in the past, every household had ash, and they would sometimes even use it directly as soap, but sometimes they would boil it (into potash), strain the ash part, and mix the rest with cooking oil which went bad, and lard which went bad, or simply stored it as-is for later use, or even diluted it and used is as-is.

That's how Mother Wilder does it in "Farmer Boy" too

That’s how granny did it in the Beverly hillbillies.

@SapioiT that is not lye thats potassium carbonate also known as potash to get hydroxides or lyes you need to fire certain compounds into oxide and mix them with water like in the video up. Even though you could make some soap with it you couldnt quite make a bar😢

But daniel I made it for you

@@laurenapolis very well... i will fight.

@@Mister_Lovely Cannot deny that this happened to me either (I'm a Daniel too) :D

@@laurenapolis “I made this for you.”

Did you get lost in the soup isle again Daniel?

2-3 weeks will let the lye fully react assuming you have your ratio right. Most soap cures for 4-6 weeks though to release any free water and make the bar last longer.

Yes - typically, using modern ingredients, measurements and tools, then Yes the average curing time is 4 - 6 weeks, depending on the mixture of oils used, this curing allows for the quality of the soap to transform. Except that with 100% olive oil soap, originally called Castile, or Aleppo depending on the regional area how it's made, that curing process takes longer, typically 6 months to a year, or more, again depending on various factors. It can be used after the 6 weeks, but as with time, like wine and cheese, it gets better with age. The "oh it doesn't suds much" is because what most people are used to using, the store bought bars or liquid cleaning products that are now commonly used for washing dishes, clothes and your teeth, are technically detergents, (or include detergents) But are not actually "soap." - It's detergent in these products that suds up so much. - (Yes there's detergent in your toothpaste. Read the label and look up the ingredients.)... But because of the characteristics of olive oil in Soap, it is very LOW, if any sudsing, but still cleans. By actual definition true Castile Soap is only made with olive oil, and for Aleppo, laurel is added. Unfortunately many soap makers are taking liberties with the terms and adding other ingredients but still using the Castle name, because, in part, so many people are under the misunderstanding that sudsing is cleaning. Soap cleans, not suds. If your soap is actually soap, doesn't have detergents, but is sudsing, it's not 100 percent olive oil, or other things have been added to contribute to increased sudsing. Yay Soap…

Finally Soap

It’s their dr.stone

I just started watching that series because of this channel

Was hoping someone would mention this

in switzerland they are completely banned for privvate reuse because of health and enviromental reasons!

Not only in Switzerland, in many European countries it is illegal to sell such spent ties to individuals. Creosote is both toxic and carcinogenic, this is basically a hazardous waste. I wonder what are the regulations in US.

Right, it definitely didn't work. To make a corkscrew like that that would fit perfectly and spin smoothly would take a very skilled carver. They also didn't show them filtering or refining the olive oil in any way but magically it's pure when they use it to make the soap.

@@rontropics26 And as someone who's made soap before, insufficient stirring definitely wasn't why it didn't work. The reaction starts immediately irl. It was that the lye they made wasn't pure enough. Notice how at 11:56 the new lye looks very granular. I think they used store bought lye and olive oil for the second run.

@@rontropics26 sadly htme isnt trying anymore. Since the reboot Series with a Team of people the quality of the Videos dropped instantly. Its all about pumping out Videos now and generating clicks (even the cat is a Tool for that) . The 'rules' are bent constantly. Personally i would prefer a Video All 3 months where everything is done true.

@@NymNymO2 Thanks, that's interesting to know. I've been a long time subscriber but just haven't watched anything of his in a year or two.

Yeah, the current method is "if we [kinda] make it once, we can just buy tons of it from the store," and just skipping over a lot of the actual effort that goes into getting really pure ingredients and high quality tools. He didn't even bother trying to use the file he made from scratch, just opted for a store-bought one. Really feels like they're straying from the spirit of the venture...

So lemme get this straight: you put the lye in the coconut, and mix ‘em both together? You put the lye in the coconut and the soap is better?

Thank you very much!!

Wooden and stone hedge....

Yeah it's pretty dangerous. I had severe lye burns on my foot due to local home made soap I bought from some sheep farmers. I had some thin resedue on my foot and because of it being re hydrated by sweat and my feet touching I burned two parts badly.

@@theblackbaron4119 That's whack, I'm sorry to hear that!!

Those episodes are probably to become more and more expensive as he moves on into the modern age. :/

@@theblackbaron4119 Yeah.

The tap and die are still a ways off; carving the inverse of a hand carved thread would be very difficult with even modern tools. And that screw was far from straight. I'm guessing they took some artistic liberties with that part.

I assumed as much. I’d seen woodworkers make wooden nuts and bolts as a challenge, and it seemed difficult enough as is. When Andy first mentioned that he planned on making a screw, I was immediately a bit skeptical.

They did not press that oil either so it's all good

With such a wide thread the reverse won’t have to be exact. I would think a simple angled edge would provide all the power needed. I kind of like that they make these things from scratch and don’t hire professionals. It represents the struggle you and I would have to go thru if we had to provide for ourselves

I think the patreons get to see it earlier. Not sure though.

You forgot about the time difference haha

I always think about that lol

That’s what my family did with me and then call me over fatty

they're very toxic and not safe to handle, in my area people who try to use them for landscaping get in trouble because they're dangerous to handle so not allowed in residential areas. they can make you sick if you handle them barehanded, especially older ones from when they were a bit lazier with safety regulations.

@@TheMichigami I hope they don't keep it around to long or at least replace it with something a bit safer

Older rail sleepers weren’t contaminated with creosote and so are able to be used

@@lachlanngordon1577 from the cross section I saw I'm pretty sure that was a railroad tie soaked in creosote and even if it wasn't it would still preserved with chromated copper arsenate which is almost worse.

@@lachlanngordon1577 they've been using creosote on them almost as long as laying rail has existed, my gramma was warned as a kid never to play around with discarded track wood because it could make you sick, and even during the depression people living in coke ovens desperate for heating fuel would scrounge fallen coal off the tracks and burn furniture before touching rail wood, they knew it was poisonous to handle and burn.

@@baconsarny-geddon8298 tallow and lard (boil refined beef or pig fat) doesnt actually smell like cooked meat. Doesnt taste like it either.

tallow smells like a really tasty soup with a bit of butter on the side, and lard does indeed smell really strong and it's an acquired taste of sorts
