soap and digm

[Guest guest]

Dear Niscala,

 

DIGM WEB PAGES

>No, it would have cost me too much. Chaya devi, said she would, though.

 

You could always use those free sites such as geocities or

homestead...getting all the charts into html tables might be a little

hassle though...Embarrassingly, after I told you that all the charts were

corrected, I can't find the file, and have messed up the orginal so much

it's difficult to discern the headings. Anyway, I'm not so much into the

stats, more interested in the actual text, luckily...

 

WOOD ASH SOAP

>Gopinatha Acarya. No, what we actually need is a RECIPE, using ash!

>Otherwise, there is so many soap recipes! (but all require purchased

>ingredients)

 

I'm not very web-wise nor can afford much time, but I did find some pages

that may help us along, the last one being the better one...

Walton Feed:The Soap Making Home Page- this has some 'old time' recipes

using non-veg sources of course...

 

http://www.sappohill.com/soaplist.htm

Sappo Hill: A History of Soapmaking through the ages - A short history of

old American soap making, not so practical, mostly to promote their own

homemade soaps...

 

http://www.alcasoft.com/soapfact/history.html

The Soap Factory - Colonial Soap Making-

ditto...

Soap Making: Traditional Methods Lye Rain Water Wood Ash...Part of a

Christian evangelist site and has a detailed section on rendering animal

fat, but does give tables for vegetable sources, and the section on wood

ash extraction is fairly comprehensive with (funky) diagrams galore.

Although it was traditionally done a little differently over here (earthen

vats vs. barrels, etc.), the principles seem very similar.
