How is a torch made?

A torch is typically made by combining a fuel source, a wick, and a casing. The wick, usually made of absorbent material, is soaked in a flammable liquid, such as kerosene or lamp oil. The casing, often made of metal or durable plastic, protects the wick and fuel while providing a handle for the user. When lit, the wick draws up the fuel and produces a flame, allowing the torch to provide light.
