Title: John's cutter Post by: corrie on August 28, 2009, 12:13:38 AM I'm using the prototype cutter John made, needs a bit of work yet but will cut any size bar from a few millimetres to inches. Will also split large batches into logs. The bar in the middle moves, the cutting wire is fixed so you just adjust it to whatever size you want.
These bars are all cut at 3cm....with NO wonky lines :hap3: Title: Re: John's cutter Post by: EJ on August 28, 2009, 12:45:54 AM He's a clever lad! Is there a tension screw to tighten the wire/blade?
Title: Re: John's cutter Post by: corrie on August 28, 2009, 07:20:17 AM Not yet EJ, that's the bit that needs work, it's ok but overtime I'm sure it would slacken. He is geting a guitar string tightener to do the job and will swap the "bridge" for a metal one to make it more sturdy.

An excellent job and I believe it's unlike anything I've seen elsewhere. Certainly never seen one that adjustable. Tell him he should make them to sell, he'd make a fortune!

Title: Re: John's cutter Post by: Honey on August 28, 2009, 10:27:09 AM Lovely!!! No wonky lines, that sounds like poetry to me (the Queen of Wonkiness) :mwaha:
And I am LOVING that purple soap, that is soooooooooooooooooo pretty! Title: Re: John's cutter Post by: wolfhound on August 28, 2009, 10:00:52 PM What a super bit of kit! Your John is very clever :)

I'm literally using mine now! Very chunky to insulate the soap, and definitely built to last. Title: Re: John's cutter Post by: corrie on August 28, 2009, 10:18:34 PM OOH, soaping on a Fri night Scott? You got it bad :allfaces:
Whatcha making? Title: Re: John's cutter Post by: Honey on August 28, 2009, 10:32:01 PM I'm guessing minty or citrusy - only based on colour mind!
He does have it bad doesn't he?! :mwaha: Title: Re: John's cutter Post by: Scott on August 28, 2009, 10:34:16 PM olive, coconut, sunflower (10%) and shea (10%) - coloured with a bit of chromium oxide and some spirulina, fragranced with lemon and basil organic EO's - HP as you can probably tell by the texture. We've been soaping all day !

He does have it bad doesn't he?! :mwaha: Honey - I'm from the North - It could have been an experimental mushy pea soap (which is what it reminds me of at the moment - good guess though - you know your soaps. Title: Re: John's cutter Post by: Honey on August 28, 2009, 10:48:18 PM I'd pay to see mushy pea soap!!! :mwaha: You know we'll want to see it cut up.
Title: Re: John's cutter Post by: Scott on August 28, 2009, 10:53:10 PM And before cutting ? :) Actually, to get back OT, John's cutter would be very welcome in my house tomorrow. Looks like the must have tool for the small scale soaper. V impressive.
