You will be explained how to make cheese and wooden shoes. Especially the wooden shoes, it looks clumsy but actually it is very useful, its main function is to protect our feet. The making of wooden shoes also attracted me. With the advantage technology nowadays, it only takes less than half an hour to finish making a wooden shoes.
