Awesome video. Great advice and they look and poured beautifully. If you can get your hands on some Castor oil, you can add nice lather and a little sodium lactate can make it a little harder too. They looked great just the way you made them too.

Hi! I just found your video. Been making soap since 2007, but have stopped in the past few years as the cost of products has sky-rocketed. Just wanted to say that I use a pitcher like you do for my lye water but I set it in a sink filled with ice water to help it cool faster. Also, I use a combination of ice and water for my mixture before adding the lye. To keep the pitcher with the lye water from "floating" in the sink with ice water, I use a very long handled wooden spoon and put it through the handle on the pitcher allowing the ends of spoon to rest on the sides of the sink. This helps the lye water to reach a lower temperature quicker. Also, as other commenters have noted, I use safety equipment including long cuffed rubber gloves, eye goggles, a respirator with filters like sold at the auto parts stores, and a plastic apron to protect my clothing, and close-toed shoes. Glad to see you linked the safety recommendations as they are very important. Good video!

You're so lucky you have a screw. My Brother (which looks to be the exact same as your Singer otherwise) has the spool pin held on by some kind of bolt thing that I can't get off. I was vaguely hoping that someone would say "hey, this is a dinglehopper screw - you need a whatyamacallit to take it off". Nice video though - at least I know I'm not that far off!

Great question! Tallow is very stable even at high heats. Tallow has a very high smoke point, meaning it takes a very high degree of heat at long durations of cooking before it starts to degrade. So perhaps there is a very small amount of degrading, but it's a negligible amount with it simmering in water this way. Thanks for watching!

I couldn’t see my daughter for 7 days and couldn’t hold her for 2 weeks and was in the nicu 3 weeks. I was borderline stroking out from pre -eclampsia. It was the worst birth ! I’m pregnant with 4th baby and just feels different then my last 2 boys they were a dream pregnancy and c section. However my 3 tummy birth my blood pressure kept dropping and I felt like I was going to pass out so the anesthesiologist did something to bring my pressure back it happened 4-5 times during the 20 minute c section. I’m educating myself and just being prepared. I do not want to go through the nicu and emergency c section again!!!

I raise chickens for meat and eggs for myself. I usually do 10 meaties at a time, processing 5 one week and 5 the next. This takes me 1.5 hours total time from cone to fridge including setup, tear-down and cleaning my plucker and turkey fryer and putting everything away. Skinning may be fine for 1 or 2 birds, but investing in that plucker and turkey fryer was a complete game changer. I would never ever recommend against it, but it's up to each person to decide how much or little work they want to do when taking on self sufficiency.
@luannbonifacio4972Ай бұрын
Totally agree. I bought all the equipment before our first processing day as I knew I would scale up. I have to do just one chicken today as a mercy cull so no scalder or plucker. First time skinning and I found this helpful.

I was happy to see a simple soap recipe with so few ingredients. My daughter gave me flower soap molds for Mother's day, so we decided to try this recipe. We waited 48 hours exactly before unmolding the soap flowers, but when we did the soap was still really soft and the designs didn't turn out well. I'm not sure what I did wrong. I'm hoping the soap will harden and still be usable. Maybe I didn't mix the soap batter to a thick enough trace. Could that make a big difference? I'm just starting my adventures in soap making.
@thealfordhomestead5191Ай бұрын
I'm so sorry to hear it didn't turn out well for you! Did you allow them to cure for 4-6 weeks? I have not used designed molds for this soap so I can't comment on whether that was a factor or not. You could have reached a false trace if the temperature wasn't high enough. This means things didn't get 100% emulsified. In any case, I hope you don't let it deter you from soap making! Even I am still learning and make mistakes. Thank you for commenting! Best wishes.

It's getting interested when you show plants with and without Comfrey compost, otherwise it is just a hear say and no backing of visual proof. ( Not saying it ain't true but people need to see and it ain't a complain, just a suggestion.)
@thealfordhomestead51914 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment! I agree, which is why I do plan on using my powder in one half of my bed and leave the other half as the 'control'. It would be interesting to see. But the thing about supplements is sometimes the benefits aren't so immediately apparent, but that doesn't mean it isn't working magic in your soil. It could need longer before we see progress in the form of better plant growth etc. There are lots of variables but in any case, why not try it!
@twillbdone32734 ай бұрын
I use a specific variety of Comfrey. Boking 14. This variety does not spread except if the root is broken up like by tilling the soil. Comfrey can be rather invasive as other varieties spread by seeds and roots. Pick the place you want the Comfrey as it takes an act of congress to get rid of it. Different articles I have read claim up to a 10 ft tap root like a dandelion on steroids. Thank you for the tip on drying it. Very useful.

Thanks for commenting! What you described sounds like the first step in this process, which is to separate the fat from the water/gelatin/large impurities. This is just fine if it will be for cooking purposes. But I personally like to take it a step further by cleaning with salt or baking soda to ensure there is no residual smell or other impurities.
