Where do shoes come from

So here are just a few of the tools that I use everyday. The strange double headed hammer thingy is a Tack Hammer used for shoe tacks which are the little nails pictured. Next to the shoe hammer is a Tack Lifter for removing tacks/little nails. The giant blue thing is a Shoe Last. The rectangular wooden thing is a handmade tool used for veltschoening, which is a technique for making handmade & handstitched shoes. The rest of the stuff pictured I will leave to your imaginations.
Pictured are a small selection of veldtschoen shoes that are under construction.
