Let's hop into our time machine to see how challenging making a pair of clog was in past. The transition from the technique employed in the past to the present.

1. How Traditional Swedish Clogs
were made in the Past

2. Introduction
 Most modern Swedish clogs for men and women are
manufactured industrially.
 Huge machinery and automated production are often used
for making different types of clogs with high degree of
precision.
 In the past, most of the work was done by hand and tools.
 The following slides lay out the basic steps of making a pair
of clogs as done before the advent of industrialization.

3. Obtaining Raw Materials
 Unlike most modern Swedish clogs for men and women, clogs
of the past were made entirely of wood.
 The raw material, wood, was carefully sourced from the forests
and lumbering camps as per as the quality.
 Raw lumber is generally preferred to be directly shaped into
clogs.

4. Laying the Outlines
 The chosen wooden log would be then trimmed to a more
accessible size.
 Then blocks of the same dimensions as the clogs would be then
cut out from the trimmed log.
 These blocks are then shaped into clogs as per as the required
size.

5. Shaping Into Clogs
 Sharp cutting tools were then used to shape the outer portion of
the clogs and give them shape.
 A pair of clogs were always shaped together to have more
evenness across both the clogs.
 The next step is carving the inner portion of the clogs.

6. Cutting the Inner Portion
 A small hand tool (later replaced by a cutting machine) was
used to cut out the inner part of clogs.
 It required extremely skillful work as bits and pieces of wood left
behind could injure the foot of the wearer.
 The entire pair is polished by a sandpaper to

7. Finishing and Designing
 The clogs are left out in the sun to dry for a few days to
harden them naturally.
 The finished clogs are then painted with varnish or paints to
protect wood from rotting.
 The can also be waterproofed or designed with intricate
carvings and designs.
