In this video I show you how to make lye from hardwood wood ash using pickling lime - something nobody else has successfully shown on camera.

Next video I'll be concentrating the solution and making soap with it. Natural handmade soap available at reallyeco.org. #lye #soapmaking #homestead #chemistry #naturalsoap
