Making of clogs

Clog was the usual shoe for farmers. And many postcards show the making of this wood shoes. Sometimes the whole family could leave in the forest to make them and would stay at the same time as long as wood would have been easy to find. But there where also clog makers in the villages or specialized market areas.
