Lye= caustic and dangerous, some people are afraid of it because their highschool science teacher demonstrated how quickly it will dissolve a chicken leg bone and all or they demonstrated a explosive reaction with it. Fear not my friend I will teach you the proper technique and safe handling necessary to use lye to turn your favorite fat into beautiful handcrafted soap. You can use any fat to make lye from jojoba oil to rendered bacon grease! You can extract your own lye from hardwood ashes or buy it at Lowe's. I will walk you threw how to make a basic soap, how to customize it with charcoal, oatmeal, and scents and then how to dry it if needed. Because I make hot process soaps you will not have to worry about chemical burns or curing times and will be able to walk away with soap you can use that very night.
