I'm curious about the homemade vs. store purchase cost ratio.

[@_Shopfix]

Well it all depends on how many candles you make. I got a candle making kit with everything I needed for 50 dollars. With 10 pounds of wax you can make enough candles to turn a hefty profit.

@_Shopfix including turning the bowl? One can only charge so much for a candle before it becomes cheaper to purchase one. But yours is fantastic. Love your channel.

@@lancekoller5284 very true, I was thinking in terms of just the candle making because there are many different kinds of containers you could use. The bowls would be determined by one’s skill on the lathe I suppose! Thanks for your support 👍
