Wonder if Mary Made Her Own Soap?

[L Verge]

This video has nothing to do with Lincoln history except to remind us of chores that housewives had to do over the years. I just had to post it because it is a marvelous display of old-time methods that are still in use today in parts of the world -- and frankly, I was just plain fascinated at the size of the operation. I'd like to hire the gentleman at the end to do my Christmas wrapping.

Start saving fireplace ashes and grease, and you too can make your own soap.
