Help with candle making?

 

I want to start making candles. I narrowed it down to the ones i want to start making first. Which is gel and chunk candles. I would also like to know what supplies i will need to make the candles besides like the wax and wicks and things like that i mean the things you use everytime you make them. Also if anyone had any good sites that i could buy the supplies from it would be great! Sorry if i sound kinda dumb haha =]. Oh too i could also use some more information on chunk candles!
Thanks in advance!!
