Told to me by Mr. J Corr Cuffets Grange

Candle making
My grand aunt was able to make candles. She made the candles from tallow. She made the tallow from boiling fat. She made the wick from plated cotton thread.
She put the wick in a model and pored in the tallow.
When the tallow was cold she took it from the model. The candles she made melted quicker and did not give as much light as the candles manufactured now.
