Jim,
You can make small bathes for trialing, if they are unsucessful, use it in the shower. Know the properties of each oil you use and then run your recipe thru a lye calculator. Personally, I would make at least about a pound of finished soap but that's me.
Snowdrift Farms is well respected. The link to their calculator is here: http://www.snowdriftfarm.com/soapcalculator.htm
You can use anything for a mold, even a pizza box if you line it with freezer paper, disposable round food savers or pvc pipe cut in sections. Or you can make your own flexible silicon mold by using molding putty.
