Homestead Blessings: The Art of Soap Making

They do not use any safety gear!This is a seriously dangerous way to make soap. Lye is lethal. A drop splashed on your skin can cause painful burns. I hate to think what would happen if that lye splashed someplace else - like in your eye.Check out  Soap Maker's Workshop: The Art and Craft of Natural Homemade Soap  for the safe way to make soap. (Okay, so you don't need the chemist's ventilation hood - but at least he's dresses appropriately. Seriously, this stuff is dangerous!)The ladies in the video are sweet as honey. The set is homey and pleasant. The video quality is very good. The video itself is great. It's just the instruction I have issue with. They make a series of videos teaching everything from soap to bread making - and many marketed to beginners. I think its very irresponsible for them not to address the virtues of safety gear. If they don't want to wear it - fine. But please educate others so they can make an informed choice.Packaging, natural colorants and fragrances are touched on. The soap is made in an inexpensive pot and poured into a simple plastic tub to mold. The do a nice job of capturing the simple pleasures of soap making. Now if they would just slap on some goggles.

This is an excellent video - high quality & well produced. It gives GREAT info especially for visual learners like myself who sometimes have trouble reading something in a book then making it work in a real-life situation. This gave great info for those who are starting or thinking about starting to make soap for the first time. Invaluable resource for a beginning to intermediate soap makers! If you are a very experienced soap maker, you might not get a LOT of valuable information from this DVD, but you will still be inspired by these ladies & it will give you more inspiration to take your soap making with gusto!

Hannah kept looking at the camera and smiling an unnatural smile. She totally spoiled the dvd for me. The others were informative and more natural.

It was great. I wished it showed more soap recipes. It showed alot of how to remake soap but I still enjoyed the West Ladies.

This is nice to watch, best if you already have experience.

One can tell this is a family project, with that being said this is not a good dvd to learn off of.

I love how they show you step by step, they also look like they enjoy making all the product. Keep up the good work ladies.

Great product. Shipped quickly. I would recommend this product. A relaxed, informative well put together video. Love it. Recommend it.
