Before Machines Took Over: How Wooden Clogs Were Made Before Modern Industry?

This documentary film from 1977 shows how traditional wooden clogs were made entirely by hand, using techniques passed down through generations. The process begins with poplar wood selection and continues through splitting, shaping, hollowing, and finishing — combining simple tools with skilled craftsmanship. Only limited mechanical assistance was used, while most steps relied on experience, precision, and manual control. Produced before full industrial standardization, this film captures a disappearing craft once central to rural and industrial life in Germany. Today, wooden clog making survives mainly as cultural heritage, preserved through archival footage like this. 📌 Subscribe to Uncovered Past for more rare industrial and craft footage from the past!
