  An endearing look at an ancient craft...makes me wonder who was the first to figure out how to make them...???

  The narrator is Eamonn Mac Thomais, i'm sure of it. It is certainly NOT Ronnie Drew

  I have to say i have made candles and read about the history of candle but i have learned more from this two video than any book. may it still be going when i am old and gone to glory may it still be going when the good Lord comes back for all who will be saved. You just got a feeling in watching this video that the place is filled with Gods love. Blessings to all who made these video and all that where in it. May family keep it going long into the further.  I for one will give thanks to all in Dublin for the history of candles that is still going strong.

  I used to live next door to a candle maker and at the time I had several bee hives on my property. Every now and then I would notice that the hives had been tampered with. I approached the guy next door and asked him where he got the raw materials for his candles, he replied "it's none of your beeswax" and slammed the door in my face.

  Quality control is most assuredly a &quot;thing of the past.&quot; <br><br>By today&apos;s standards in 2019, these candles would cost a small fortune because of the necessary manpower and time to produce these candles. Unfortunately people do not want to pay high prices so everything to be made is shipped off to another country where it can be manufactured more inexpensively, therefore the quality suffers.<br><br>People wanting products cheaply have been the demise of these craftsmen. Some of us &nbsp;are still willing to pay the higher price for quality items.

  I loved the comment about the &nbsp;electric candles not coming on and shutting down your intention before you made it.
