bugtussle Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I have 2 of Janet's log molds & they work great. My cp soap came out beautiful. I just can't judge cutting the slices. What do you recommend I use to cut uniform bars? What is a good thickness? TIA Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubbleBath Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 How about a mitre box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 If your budget will allow I recommend the FCS Hobby cutter. It's spendy but worth it. If it's not in your budget, or you just are playing around right now, you might want to try a mitre box like it was suggested. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 What is web addy for FCS? If it's too much, I'll try the mitre box. Do most of you cut the bars without a guide? Thks for your replies. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaColo Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I make soap only as a hobby, so I use a mitre box or go free-hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrayMaire Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hi Carole!Here's the main link:http://forcraftssake.com/shop/I've had a Delsie for a couple of years, but it's sort of klunky to use - these look much better. I think 3/4 to 1 inch is the usual size, especially if you want to use the soap boxes that are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherl Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I use the FCS too and it is worth the money in your time and getting consistant sized bars.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I find the mitre box fills my needs. Took a bit of practice but now I can slice up a log pretty quick. For slabs I use a ruler to cut into logs, then the mitre to cut individual bars. I can't justify buying a cutter yet, and haven't been able to talk DH into making one. Yet. Plus I'm not too fond of how my soap looks cut by wire instead of my dough scraper thingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Thks everyone, Kimberly sold hers in the classys. Don't know if I'm ready for the fcs yet. May try a miter box. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I use a mitre box also-when I remember to get it out, but after cutting many logs freehand it does get easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 OMG I LOVE the FCS cutter! It is the easiest thing in the world to use.
