Street Use

Cobbler's Machine in Yunnan

Coming up are a bunch of examples of street use technology I saw on my recent trip to Yunnan, China.

This one is a very nice cobbler's sewing machine used by cobblers to fix shoes on the street. It's hand cranked, uses heavy canvas thread and has a very long neck allowing you to shove the shoe onto the anvil throat. Very nice machine.
