Shoemaker: The shoemaker also carries a flat load, picking a wooden box at one end, and picking an iron crutch and a small anvil for spikes. In the wooden box, there are leather for repair shoes, glue, nails for spiked shoes, and wooden mules for shoes. When the shoemaker arrived in the village, he usually didn't sip, took a rattle, and jumped to solicit business. In the past, everyone in rural women would make cloth shoes. The cloth shoes were made with straight bottoms, regardless of left and right feet. The soles and uppers are made separately. The shoes are not known to help. Instead, the shoes are made with a nest. That is, the upper and the sole are connected together, and the pins of the shoes are not visible outside, unlike the cloth shoes currently on the market. Ming Bangyi, around the upper and sole, there is a circle of stitches for the shoe. When making shoes last, the awl's awl and the needle of the thin linen rope with the last shoes must reach into the mouth of the shoe and feel the seam. This is all based on the shoemaker's intuition and feel. Skillful shoemakers can close their eyes with their eyes closed. Dexterous rural women, the self-made soles and uppers are suitable for matching. Shoemakers can easily handle them. Some clumsy women, the self-made soles and uppers are not suitable, and the sizes are different. This will damage the shoemaker, especially the small shoe sole. Large, requires the shoemaker to continuously tighten the upper of the shoe, and the sole of the shoe to the bend, in order to be connected together. After the shoe lasts up, first put the shoe on the top of the iron cane, with the soles facing upwards, and use a small hammer to gently smash a few turns to make the soles flat. Sleek. The shoe last is made of wood. It is divided into the toe part, the heel part and the middle part. The toe part of the toe part is like the front half of a human foot, except that the five toes are not separated, but a smooth whole. The heel part The shoe last is just like the heel of a person. The shoe last in the middle is several rectangular wedges of different sizes. When shoe-hoeing, insert the toe-prong toe first, then the heel-puppet, and the middle part into several rectangular wooden blocks according to the size of the shoe, and then wedge with a thinner wooden wedge. After a few minutes, remove the shoe last and write it. When shoe-hoeing, the shoemaker uses two needles at the same time. First, use a taper to pierce a small hole at the place where the needle is to be threaded. The two shoe-hoes with a string are inserted into each other, and both hands are tightened tightly, and then reciprocated. The small hole pierced by the awl was invisible to the naked eye, but the shoemaker touched the needle accurately and quickly with his hands. The shoemaker also has a skill of repairing shoes, unlike today's shoe repairers who use shoe repair machines and rely entirely on manual work. When repairing the upper surface, the remaining scraps used as leather shoes and leather clothes are cut into ellipses or circles according to the degree of damage to the upper surface. If the upper of the shoe bottom is broken, half of the leather of the repair shoe needs to be held on the sole and half of the leather is sewn on the upper. If the sole is damaged, you need to nail it. Use a used bicycle tire (the frame tire needs to be opened from the middle double layer), build the sole of the city (sole tip or heel), and nail it with a special nail. Spikes need iron spikes, so the spikes are naturally riveted and you do nt wear your feet when you put them on. In the past, people were poor. It is not easy to own a pair of cloth shoes, and they are very cherished. Many people need to make up shoes. Many young people do nt even wear leather shoes when they are broken. In the past, it was not easy for rural people to make a pair of shoes. The first is that there are very few waste fabrics for making shoes and quilting papers. The clothes are patched and patched, and they are reluctant to remove them. Dolls with large clothes must be left for small ones. . Second, hemp ropes for shoe uppers and soles are more expensive. Third, the process is particularly complicated. Therefore, it is common to wear patch shoes. Therefore, in addition to the time when the shoemaker is busy with finishing the new shoes, the shoemaker mainly deals with shoe repair, and usually he repairs and repairs shoes. Because the shoes are mostly used for dregs, people Call the shoemaker a tanner.
