Would these work for soap carving?

i think these are fairly versatile tools. i use them for sculpting epoxy putty and they are working quite well.

They would be good as an addition to carving tools. These tools would work good on detail work but not so much for a gross reduction of media.

I don't believe so. They are meant for baking/cookie cutting and are not that sharp.

Sure. And what works best IMHO is an electric carving knife. Cutting foam with those is the only reason I keep one around.

They might, I'm not sure they are sharp enough for that, you might need a mallot to force them through and you still might have issues with breakage because of the fine detailed points and indentations on most of the shapes

I would not recommend trying that. Definitely not the ideal tool for that job, as these are really made with wood in mind.

You would have to use a very light touch. They are not cut very deeply. I think you would have to experiment a bit.

If you mean chisels this would work great. If they have a rounded edge I am not sure what you would use.

Hi Ericha. I used them for sugar skuls and they worked great! If you have a good sugar skul recipe you can use practically any plastic mold. I should mention that there are some molded "cracks in the design like sutures in the top of the skull that might not look traditional but we covered them with decorations. One of my favorite molds for sugar skulls.

First try them as they are. My guess is they will work just fine. Then, very carefully sharpen the edges of some of the tools (I did) and I wouldn't be surprised if you could do your own dentistry work. I have used them for finishing plaster of Paris castings, soap carving, and a number of other materials and I've had not problems at all. They were a good investment.

They will work, although it is not quite the same. We have used this before for toasting marshmallows. A candle would do about the same job for toasting marshmallows.

Yes, I believe so. However, they would not be of a very large diameter. You would need to purchase a chuck to hold the bowls for turning. They can be pretty pricey, depending on how elaborate you want to get. It is a great lathe, though. I am very pleased with mine, although, I use it primarily for turning pens and other small projects. Good luck.

I don't do woodcarving. I have used it on very rare occasions to clean fish. My guess if you're going to use it while manipulating very small pieces of wood it probably wouldn't work for you. But if you're carving wooden lures it might be worth a look.

It will work, but honestly this has more power than what you need- I use mine(I own 2) for my soap making. I make anything from 2 lbs. or more at a time in a big stock pot and these are my saving grace for my arms

I am afraid I haven't used it to make soap. Not something I would have thought of, but it is a strong immersion blender and the moving parts are washable, so I can't see why you wouldn't try it for a small amount. It's not of commercial strength.

I only use this tool for grating cheese and it works very well. I have no idea if it would be effective for grating grating soap.

I would think so, Renee, as I use them to make hand and body soap to use in the shower. :-)

I originally purchased these for soap molds, but they would also be great for panna cotta. They would remove easily from the silicone mold and the shape is perfect.
