Clogs Making Demonstration

Passing through the history of clogs, you will arrive at a clogs demonstration station. Here, the shopkeeper will demonstrate how a pair of clogs are cut out of pieces of soft wood. At the end of this demonstration, the shop keeper blew into the clogs and water came out of it – showing that the clogs were still moist after being cut out from the soft wood!
