Making Sample Soaps

I am making sample soaps which I havent done in a while, so I made calendula as my first batch, I measured my calendula to add in at trace....

Poured into my molds, I did one as the sample bars and one regular loaf...

 The next day when I go to cut the bars...I remember my log splitter had broken wires, no instructions but I am determined to figure this out, it is just guitar wires...

I know the end piece goes into this piece on the bottom as the anchor... 

Then it threads up top and gets wound around the top pieces that spin it tight...but I had issues with this and 2 hands werent enough, but I tried my best...

Then when I tried to snip off the excess wire the pliers got stuck closed on the wire instead of snipping it off...so here is where I gave up and made do to fix later when The Hubs got home..

So with one string still missing I ran it through....turned it around and ran it through to cut the other side to get my four mini logs lol...

...Last step is the mini cutter....and voila I soon have over 60 sample bars.
