    Everyone goes to them. To get their shoes mindid.
    They makes boots and they put half soles on boots. They used a last, a hammer, a pincers, rasp nails and an awl.
    A Last is a piece of iron with three feet under it. It is for putting shoes on it while the nails are driven in. A hammer is for driving the nails. An awl is for putting holes in the leather. A rasp is for paring the leather
