Try it sometime--it's great fun, and a nice way to supplement your income, if you do it just right. Heck, people will happily buy simple melt & pour soap, if it's pretty and smells good. I'm happy to share anything I know (except maybe certain specific recipes that I developed on my own). There is enough room in soapmaking for everyone.
Also, now that you found washing soda (which is actually used in place of lye in many soap recipes), be sure to Google "washing soda uses" or "washing soda applications," because the stuff can do everything from cleaning coffee pots to inducing vomiting!
Washing soda = sodium carbonate.
