What are some good titles for a burning candle project?

Women cooked the beef fat in large kettles over an outside fire until it became a thick gravy-like liquid. They threaded wick through the center of a wood form (several forms were chiseled out for this purpose). Each form had two wood block sides that fit on top of each other like a book, with the inside cut out in the basic shape of a tall or short candle (most back then were 7-8 inches tall). They tied the wick at the bottom of the form then covered it with a round block of wood to hold in the beef fat that came next. They used a ladle to pour the beef fat into each form; the forms were hung or stood to dry. This was a very hot substance, so women needed to be careful when ladling out the fat. When the fat was mostly "set", the form was separated from the tallow; then the tallows (without forms) were hung from the ceiling with the top of the wick, such as in the basement or outbuilding, to dry completely. They used a knife to whittle out any remaining tallow out of the form-- this was saved for the next melting time and added to the kettle then. Lastly, they cut the bottom wick flush with the tallow, and cut the top wick to preferred length. The tallow candle was stood in a regular candle holder; in "rich families" the holders were made of pewter or pounded metal. When a tallow burned down to a stub, they put the short tallows into the next melting of fat, strained out any excess wick-strings, and repeated the process. After drying the old short wick strings, they tied them together to make a new wick for the next batch--- until the strings were too short to use anymore.
