Lime is one of the most useful substances ever and great to have on hand for maker, builder, experimenter, alchemist types! It is used in smelting and refining, food processing like sugar and tortillas, for mortar and plasters, it is the main ingredient in cement. it can be mixed with milk protein for milk paints and glue, in preparing skins for tanning and much more. Lime is not only easy to make from limestone or shells, it's hella fun! If you want to really know how to do this, just watch the educational/how-to version of this video and or read the stuff I've written about lime and lime burning, linked below.

If you want to know all about lime and it's uses in building, read the definitive book, Building With Lime by Holmes and Wingate.http://amzn.to/1ZHXaMa

Shells or limestone are burned at about 900 Celsius driving off the carbon leaving quicklime (calcium oxide). Water is added to the calcium oxide to slake the lime. It creates lots of heat reacting with the water and changing into calcium hydroxide. Calcium hydroxide will keep indefinitely if stored under a layer of water as "lime putty" and actually improves with age. Once exposed to the air and allowed to dry, the calcium hydroxide turns back into calcium carbonate, which is what we started with, thus completing the lime cycle.
