Basic Homemade Soap Log Mold

I recently moved - and all of my usual molds and such are packed in various boxes. I wanted to make a small test batch of soap, and luckily I was able to find my home-made mitre-box log mold. It was a great low-cost soap mold solution from a fellow soap maker friend, Pat Tyson of Pitterpat Skin Care. She designed a really wonderful, easy-to-make, small log mold that's made with strips of wood and a mitre box - and passed on the design to us. All of the materials are available at any local hardware store for just a few dollars.
