Okay. I'm honestly just here because I want to make something I can put my whole soul into, to make and sell over and over again. Anyone else?

[@MaxSmm_business]

Me too

[@fj8156]

Same

[@corneliusc8952]

Look into beekeeping in that case. Most people won't buy a candle but everyone needs honey/sugar. Bees also produce beeswax and you can farm bees within city limits

[@thedoubleboiler6971]

@@corneliusc8952 Thank you for the tip and I will. I've had some success with candles, but beekeeping would make sense also, as I love gardening; so it would just be the extra addition. I have 8 fruit trees so far.

[@TheDownables]

How did your wife like them?

[@artemis5168]

@@TheDownables Very much. Not so much for the quality but more for the effort. The quality was more lacking because these were some of the first candles I made, so not my best work. In the time since I've improved the craft considerably and have developed a finer sense of smell for mixing and matching scents, for wick placement in candles, and for overall best practices. Nothing educates like experience.

[@msmjserene]

Never been much of a crafter, but i recently got hooked on candles and after spending a lot of money buying 12 and 14 dollar candles i thought i better see what's available. I see some money saving crafting in my future.

This was a great video. I was shopping for supplies and got intimidated by people saying they had issues with “frosting” and issues with the “throw” of their candle, so I almost gave up. I would love to see a video breaking down some of the specifics like the temperature we should melt the wax to before adding fragrance, and the temperature to cool the wax to before pouring etc. I think it would really benefit beginners to have those metrics.
