itsmejeffd Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I looked around quite a bit for a soap mold that would meet my needs but couldn't find one. Every mold I saw out there, was way too flimsy and you could only make one size batch in them. If they had a cutter attached, the cutter was at a set width. I decided to design and create my own. the size of the batch is completely adjustable from 0 lbs to 6 lbs. In the pics it's set to make a 3 lb batch. The cutter (not finished in these pics) is also completely adjustable to give you the exact width bar you want. I'm currently in the process of designing a bar mold like an 18 bar Kelsei for Texas Brat.Please let me know what you think. If you would be interested in one, PM me. I could make them to whatever your specifcations are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel91805 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Wow...that is one cool looking mold you got there! I can't wait to see the cutter!I hear on looking for that perfect mold. I gave up trying and just ended up sketching what I wanted with the dimensions I wanted and the features I wanted and sent hubby to Lowe's. And now I have 8 molds that I couldn't be happier with!

Scented Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I can tell you exactly what I want lol! But I would be shot for asking for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 This mold is truely awesome and well built and is sturdy, I have seen it in person. I can't wait for mine to be built. It's so cool, you can have two different batches in one mold and then scoot it to the end for cutting. Scented, I'm still alive after the request of how I wanted mine built.

jbren Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Now THAT is a beautiful mold...I can see a lot of thought went into it. I hope you sell tons of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruina Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 WOW! Me likes! I don't see any lining. Are these to be used unlined? I can't wait to see the cutter.Great job!R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmejeffd Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks everyone. I'll post new pics with the finished cutter as soon as I can. The mold is made to be used unlined but a mold release would make unmolding a little easier. You could line it if you wanted though. It comes completely apart by loosening the hardware and everything is dishwasher safe. I haven't seen a need to put it through the dishwasher yet because it wipes clean pretty easily with water.

Morganst Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I like very much. I need more molds too. Hmmmm, I may have to order one from you!S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 OMG... that mold is the shiznit! :drool: Jeff, you have skills. Seriously.What a fabulous mold. I am pondering if I should even ask to send you my MC mold- I would LOVE a liner less mold the same size. Doesn't have to have the cutter glides, either.

Just give me the dimensions you want it to be.I need to clarify this because I probably didn't word it correctly in my original post and someone just asked me: The cutting blade itself does not come with it. The mold has an adjustable cutting guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I wouldn't need your other mold. Just give me the dimensions you want it to be.I know my weaknesses, and measuring or anything to do with it is not my forte'. I am not even joking. LOL!As soon as I get some soaping wrapped up, I am going to PM you for your address and send you this mold. I think the bigger one would be hard to duplicate, it makes 32 bars and it is large. But the 16 bar would be ideal, and I could use the original MC mold to cut the bars after it is unmolded. Thank you for being so kind, and talented! :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 That is a nice mold. Wow, I am impressed. Too bad I can't stand the smell of making soap. I really miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I see some smaller pieces that I guess go up the sides for some reason. What are those for? Can it be set up to make one long log? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
