Soap making requires following a recipe very carefully, because it is a precise chemical process. Basically, you take your oils, combine them with tallow, lye and water, and mix and mix and mix. Pour it into molds, let it set, and you have soap. Lye is a potentially dangerous chemical, so you have to be very careful when measuring. There are a lot of different recipes out there.
