From the ZDM Podcast Network, it's Fletchhorn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. I have been making candles. You have been. You have been. Every weekend, if I find a couple of hours free, I'll get out in the moulds, I'll melt some beeswax. How long does a beeswax take to melt? Do you just do it on the stove in the kitchen?

No, so you can't put it in a pot and put the pot straight on the element because that will burn it. So what you're going to do is get a big pot and then get a smaller pot and put that in the middle. They'd fill up the gap. Yes, exactly. So we're tempering wax really. Exactly. Oh. Exactly like that.

And then it melts pretty quick once the water's boiling and the pots in and then you can pour it in the moulds. Takes a little water set. Okay. Oh yeah. I was about to come at you. I got to check my bank account. Because I was like the least I could have is a little, because I added those moulds to my Timo cart. I paid you back for that.

You did pay me back. I am going to bring candles in. You're a good boy. I'm just stock piling, making the candles. Because you know I'm decorating shelves at the moment. I've got a few candelabra. Oh, what do you do you? need.

I'll have a little look. I've got some thins and some thicks. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're, sure, kind of got this little hobby now.

It's really good. Every now and then I'll get another. Better than heroin. Better than crack. Just. Just. Getting expensive. So the, I

order moulds all the time. I'll get like a little team. I'll be like, remember last time when you came and dropped 70 bucks when you intended to spend five, but you had to spend 35 to get the free postage, and then the thing that pushed

over 35 took you to 70 and you're like yes Timu. Yeah. Fucking recall. Yeah, I remember the money leaving. So one of the moulds I got recently was a lemon mould and that was actually in the order you placed. Yes, the lemon mould. And I thought it was going to be silly but I was like... So the idea is it looks like a lemon. But I thought

it was going to be like a lemon-esque. Lemon-esque kind of cartoon lemon like a ceramic lemon. Yeah, I thought it was going to be jaggy as well. I thought they'd be flimsy-whomsy and wouldn't hold them wax. Man, that looks so... That looks like a lemon. That looks like straight up. Looks like a lemon.

When it came out of the mould, the girls didn't know I'd made it. And I took it out to them. Or Amy, who I made it with, my girlfriend. I said to her, I was like, wait. What? Look at how good that came out. And she was just like, that's not it. You've jammed a wick and a lemon.

I was like, no, I honestly haven't. Feel it. The colour is. She was there when we poured it in and made it. And she was still mind-blown when it came out. Because it's got all the little dimples of the skin. Yeah. It's amazing.

It's very cool. Because you know I collect fruit-based things. Yes. Would you like lemon? Would you like a lemon? I want a lemon for my lemon. I want a lemon. For my bowl, for my kitchen bowl.

I shan't burn it. Because we've been looking at other fruit moulds. Yes. Because you can get other fruit molds. It would require the colouring of the beeswax. And I think the golden nature of the beeswax is a big selling. Nana. Nana.

Do a Nana. Do a Nana. Do a Nana. Do a Nana. Yeah. You could do a Nana. You have to black the tip. This is a great example, Hayley.

I'll leave that to Fletch. Somebody. He's better with a black tip. I can't argue with that There's no fucking arguing with that No arguing with that When it comes to black tips He's the expert

He knows he actually taught me everything I know Did I? Did I? Did I? Did I? Did I? Can I show you my Easter Island Head? Yeah, I didn't like that as much Everybody thought that was going to be janky That's one of my favour I think it needs to be stone colour You need to have a grey wax

grey wax A grey wax With your hand you can buy wax colour colours So I might look into that I like this double-ended one Yeah that's my favourite actually It's recognised like a new burnt beautifully too.

BTW. I bet. Okay, I'll make you one of those. Okay. Those are my long candles. Yeah, see, I need some of those, my love. I need, I've got labras. This one that looks like a dildo didn't burn particularly well.

You put that in a condom, though, because it's soft. Absolutely. If you were going to put that up yourself, you'd want to wrap. Oh, Vorn. That twisted one and just the standard sort of candle shape. Now, this is a great example, Haley, of someone that's got a hobby and is following through. Excuse you. Excuse you.

Okay. I will be sharing with you my hobby that I will be seeing through very soon. I've dropped a lot of money on it. The skateboard, which I've just put in the storage unit while I'm renovated. Storage unit. Can I have the skateboard because I was singing in the other day? No, you can't shred it's brand new. I haven't even shredded on my own board.

But I want to shred it on your board. You can have another one. I'll get you another one. You two are too old to be doing that. So that's getting all ready for summer. Right. It's a summer sport. Okay.

And the Pilates. Who's got time? You still got that voucher to you. years up though don't you i do have that voucher yeah but i've i've i've actually started new crafts stay tuned okay
