We have been making our own soap since 2013 using baking dishes and boxes as the molds. It does work, but we wanted to make some nice soap molds that we could rely on. I looked around on youtube and this video from Rob’s Garage Woodworking is the design that I used.

| Each mold holds about 6 lbs of soap. |
 |
| The clam shell design makes it easy to take the soap out. |
 |
| Each 6 lbs. mold makes 14 bars that are 1 inch thick. |
