I remember my mother away back in the depression years taking ashes from the
stove,putting it in a bag and suspending it with a cord over a large
pan.Then a container was hung over same with water which was dripped thru
the sack of ashes.After a time the collected lye water was put in a kettle
with a lot of fat drippings,etc.This was boiled for a time then poured into
a large square pan for cooling and hardening,then cut into bars.This lye
soap was a little harsh,but worked.
