    There were different kinds of tradesmen long ago, such as smiths, shoemakers, carpenters and weavers. The smith's name have was Denis Carle who lived in Ballymacooda. He made pikes, hanger,s gates, spades and slanes. Charles O'Connor made different kinds of baskets. The housekeepers in the country made their own candles, from the tallow of the sheep, and there was a mould or two in in every farmers house for the purpose.
