These are a set of 6 frames after being taken out of the hot water bath to remove the wax.

All frame parts are made from wood and 1/4 inch dowels.

The bottoms are made from 3/4 wood ripped in 3/8 pieces.

Small nails are used on the bottom to hold the wicks in place.

The tops are made from a 3/4 inch piece of wood, with two holes in the ends, and then cut in half down the center.

Small nails are also used on the top bars to hold the wicks in place.

Large hooks are screwed into the top to hang the whole unit on my circular cooling rack.

The side dowels are slid in between the two top pieces and rubber bands are used to tie them together.

The side dowels are 5/16 inch dowels with pins (or small nails) in the ends.

A completed unit - ready for wick.

We start the wicking by tyies a know at the bottom as shown - leaving some extra wick to tie a little later.

After the wick is strung, you get back to the same spot and tie the other end to the starting end securely and cut off the extra.

A complete frame ready to dip.
Good luck with your candle making.
