- The local farmers made candles. They used kill a cow and take out the lard and fat. The lard and fat were put on the fire to melt. When melted they were put into a mould. Six candles were made together.
Baskets were made from long bamboos. They were woven tight.
All the old gates were made at the forge. Spades and other farming implements were made at the forge. Knives were made and sharpened at the forge.
