Late 70's. I started making candles in my basement. They were pretty ugly, and I'd like to say by design, but, alas...
Most were made in molds of a volcano, and when the first wax melted it created a lava flow. Sold a few. Most were gifts.
There was a time, in my youth, we were involved in home made stuff, and canning and being as self sufficient as we could be.
But that became 'old world' ways which were abandoned by the quick solutions of the day, including the freezer and then the microwave oven.
Some people still make their own soap, know how to sheer sheep and actually weave the wool, can butcher their own chickens or cows, pigs or wild turkeys.
All of these 'ole world' skills still have value and some of you, via reports, videos and classes can cash in today.
What we once considered to be daily mundane chores, are now a lost art and there is a market for your expertise.
As for my return to the candle making biz, well, let's just say...none of your beeswax. HA!
