Reasonably Intelligent Maker

 So check out my latest video where I make 3 different batches of soap in real time making use of the "aRTy O'SHLeP" method and masterbatching

 Okay, so it bothered me last night and I started over. I also based it on the image from the Disstonian Institute. So for those who are interested here it is, with drill holes and all!!

Although I saw it mentioned in a few articles, like those on that paywalled woodworking site, the references to it seem to fall on dead links and 404 pages. After deciding that I will make one myself, I also tracked down someone who mentioned using a template found online. He still had a copy and shared it with me.  So I am putting a copy of that file here for all to have. I find no copyright statement in it so I feel comfortable sharing it here. If this changes, and someone wants to claim it as their own, I will happily give them attribution or take it down whichever is appropriate.  As well, I am in the process of creating one based on a photograph posted at Blackburn's site http://www.black...
