@@mrchow3177 I wasnt sure if he was saying I was being anal retentive and hundreds of others didnt care. Good to know though. Cody was my inspiration growing up.
Meriam Webster's "1a" definition of flavor is, "ODOR, FRAGRANCE"... though that definition is labelled as archaic. Seems to pass the smell test considering that we're talking about a person who made himself a chainmail vest in the last ~5 years :)
@@ToTheGAMES no, generally speaking soaps used for skin are not harmful to ingest. Imagine if you have kids and they'll eat anything so it has to be non-toxic.
Cody' s life could be ordered like that of famous artists in the 19th and 20th century... , the explosive period, the wax period, the charcaol period, the quicksilver period, the soap period etc.
@@juliettaylorswift I've had that happen. Someone made a nice bar of soap for me and I never wanted to use it. In fact, I never used it and now it's in a garbage heap somewhere I'm sure.
That turned out really well! Also that's a super cool rock! I also wonder if it would be feasible to attempt to make a geode bar of soap using a combination of the grey soap and a commercially made brightly coloured transparent soap bar? Edit: turns out geode soap bars are popular among DIY and commercial and of course there's plenty of patents on all sorts of soap bars including 'composite soap bar consisting of embedded shapes of differing hardness'.
You wouldn’t need to patent the idea to be able to use it. You’d be able to trade mark the specific design and do business that way. *source: Mark Cuban on an episode of shark tank*
I check my Patreon feed once per week on Sunday morning, and I get irrationally excited when there's a new Cody video. There's something about the topics Cody covers and the way they're presented that I find very unique and enjoyable to watch.
I work cutting limestone for homes and buildings, and it’s not uncommon to find fossils in the blocks we get, but it’s not nearly as dense as your example. That’s quite amazing
This was such a cool thing to watch. From the first idea to try to make soap from beeswax to realizing that it makes the soap harder and dissolve slower. Then, the fossil idea and the completion of the final product.
As a soap maker, the beginning was so chaotic and the end filled me with so much joy. It was what soap making is all about. Creativity! It was an awesome video and a super cool end result!
This is honestly one of the best how to videos of natural made soap from a chemistry perspective. I really enjoy this Cody and the perspective it provides in RU-vid is essential
4:32 is that Forbidden Buttercream Frosting 👀 Love these soap videos, I've tried my hand making some now with varying levels of success, However it is still fun nonetheless! Have a good one Cody👍
Woah. Beautiful effort! The similarity you managed to reproduce in both color and resolute texture are spot on. It would be so cool to put the reference rock you found (which absolutely blew me away) in that CT/X-ray scanning machine Curiousmarc recently got the chance to use on his Apolo mission components. Nevertheless, hats off to you sir.
Cody saying that the surface of the rock is just a 2d slice gives me an idea, what if you cut a rock like this, took an image of the cut surface, ground a little bit more of the surface off, took another picture, and kept going all the way through, you could end up with a 3d volume of the rock, and reconstruct the fossils in 3d. Has anyone done something like this?
we already do that with animal specimen. They impregnate organs/bits of tissue with plastic resin (it's called plastination), then cut it into super fine slices, generally with diamond blades. They don't normally reconstruct a 3d model with it though. They're encased in microscope slides for observation. Obviously its very useful to teach med students etc, but it's also used in diagnostics, since it allows doctors to see exactly the shape and arrangement of cells, which can help identify different types of cancer for example.
@@The_Keeper I don't think that's right, how does the MRI get the 2d slices? I know a CT scan constructs a 3d volume from 2d x-ray scans, but x-rays don't take a slice like that
I tend to sometimes forget that Cody studied geology, only to then be reminded of that again in videos like those. Glad to have our geologist explain rocks to us :D
i reckon a little bit of finely ground pumice would add an interesting (and possibly more authentic) "feel" to the soap. perhaps use that in the portion of the soap that is mimicking the calcite inclusions. just a thought.
I always like watching you, especially your habit of using metric units, makes it just that little bit more digestible for us non-US folk. Not that should eat soap, or lye. I found out in chem class that bases are really good for cleaning and quite "soapy" ie slippery. I bet I drop my teacher batty I always tried to find "unapproved" uses for all the cool chemicals. But my teacher and I stayed after school once to make "moderate" amounts of nitrogen triiodide, with expected results. No one was harmed, and property damage was minimal, only the stains remained for years. But after that no more practical investigation into unstable nitrogen bonds. 🤣 I said bonds...
Oh please, great RU-vid algorithm, let this get the exposure it deserves. All the algo puts on my recommended page lately is trash. I want more Cody'sLab videos! I have notifications turned on but I swear I never got any notification about the last 10 or so videos nor did they ever appear in my recommended. EDIT: Finished watching to the end, and wow. This is the coolest thing I've seen on RU-vid in a LONG time. I never knew soap could be formed like that. Thank you, Cody, for putting the time and effort into producing this video and sharing with us. I really appreciate it and look forward to trying something like this myself!
Just what I needed this morning some new Cody's lab ! I've been going through it lately and this is just the positive person I needed to have a better day thank you Cody!
im in a super bad time of my life and seeing your video made me cheer up. thank you a bunch for this and i loved the idea of the soap. Kinda want to make my own soap now lol
I actually got into the hobby of soapmaking from your first video I discovered on it where you made soap completely out of beeswax. Been really fun creating something for fun that also has a function. Thanks for the awesome video's.
Yoooo what a cool project! The soap bars look absolutely awesome, especially when the dark soap dissolved a bit Almost makes me wanna get into soap making
Wow, can I buy one? Looks so amazing and you mentioned gritty feeling, as a mechanic I need grit to get grease and old oil off. Love how the fossils last longer than the limestone, I’d save the fossils on my shelf.
Really taking your creative impulses to a whole new level!! I was already impressed before you wetted it and rinsed away some of the gray but once you did the effect of the relief making the fossil bits pop was astonishing and made it look so much more like the real thing. Would love to see you take this further and really perfect it, maybe increase the fossil density, add some more mineral inclusions, etc. No joke I'd pay good money for some of this
That was awesome, makes me interested in making soap, plus those fossils were very cute and it's really nice to see them poke through when you use the bar ! Love your ideas Cody as always !
Mate, I found your channel because you implanted a magnet in your finger so you could feel the magnetic field. All the crazy stuff since hasn't disappointed. Such a boss, unique channel.
Awesome work Cody! Always love to hear about cool rocks and minerals, I would love to learn more about how to identify various different rocks, minerals and fossils.
Can’t tell you how important this channel is man, out of highschool (in college) and this is still one of my favorite forms of education and entertainment!
This was worth the wait! I wonder, if you had enough time and energy for it you could probably sell some of these at a local market and make a bit more cash for your off-the-grid projects. Great work!
I love codys channel cause every time i hear his voice it's nostalgic, been subbed since 2013 so i was like 12 and had just moved to a big city with zero friends; hes been with me since i was a young buck😂 thanks for the uploads cody, you're freakin awesome man!❤️
Absolutely love the concept and the process looks satisfying and fun! If you did geodes or other rocks too, you could make some pretty nice gifts for people as well.
Another great vid. I sure wish i had your skill and understanding of chemicals @Cody'sLab ! I'm still, many years on, trying to perfect the art of soil Ph and then discover (from experience, not from books) which fruits/flowers/bushes etc prefer which Ph and nutrients. Your vids are inspiring Cody. they make me get off my butt and actually experiment. I'm a 'learn by doing' type. You channel is priceless. Thank you.
It turned out so well! I'm now desperate to give this a go - i didnt realise how easy making soap was! Are there any specific dyes that will dye the soap without dying the skin at all?
Hey Cody, truly thank you for all of your hard work! I know sometimes you may feel like your hard work is all for nothing but you truly are doing more than what most people will ever dream of! I am proud of you and I look forward to witness the beautiful works you will embark on! Regards :)
Cold process soap could be fun to do, there is less chance of the boiling. I believe your going far past trace, which is just mixed not when it is solidifying on you into a paste. Royalty soaps probably could be a really good help for making more liquid batches that you can pour into molds and shapes.
Hey Cody, look up the word "wackestone" Also, the Carboniferous goes from about 360-300 million years ago, so if it's 250 mya, that would actually make it from the latest stage of the Permian. However, I suspect that _is_ a Carboniferous wackestone, since you're in the south-western US and it reminds me somewhat strongly of certain formation I know. Also also, those are probably brachiopods, not clams - remember, you can always tell if the two valves (or shells) are symmetrical with one another, it's a bivalve, if the valves are not mirror images of each other, it's a brachiopod.
Hey Cody, congratulation for your work!!!! I am working on a project in my univercity for a plant which is called Equisetum avense that has a large amount of content in amorphous Silicon. So I was wondering is it easy to find or to produce amorphous Si?
Awesome video! We make our own soaps too and this was cool to see. The rock you have is truly beautiful and it's cool as hell to see you make soap inspired by it. 👍😁 Came back to say how awesome your final soap turned out. 👍👍
I think this is a genuinely really innovative and unique design, honestly a very cool concept. I honestly think you could go far with this if you chose to
