The Shoemaker or Cobbler.

I took this on my way to college. Mr. Vance was hard at work. I waved at him and asked his permission. He smiled in agreement.

I have a major assignment deadline due tomorrow and I am struggling mightily with it. So what do I do, you might ask. Well I spend an hour on tinternet researching the word shoemaker in 20 different languages.

Le cordonnier
Kutsuya
Der Schuhmacher

etc

Then I look at this documentary (part of RTE’s series on crafts from years ago - look at the cars to date it - called HANDS) and just enjoyed it so much
