Soapmaking from Scratch: Woodash Lye

Part one of a series looking at the history, archaeology and practical creation of soap starting from ashes and fats.

I now have a 'buy me a coffee' page which helps fund my ongoing research and the making of these free videos. If you'd like to support me, please visit https://ko-fi.com/sallypointer Thank you!
