Craft: an art, trade, or occupation requiring special skill, especially manual skill. That's what dictionary.com says a craft is. This means I have a lot to talk about. There are so many things out there that are underappreciated so today I will talk about some of the crafts that aren't so well known like a Cobbler, or someone that works on shoes. They repair boots, shoes and even make shoes. I haven't personally had any experience with my shoes being worked on, or even working on shoes but back home we have Albert's shoe store. He's been in business for as long as I can remember and has worked on all the shoes of my family. He can take a shoe that's falling apart and make it brand new again. He is a very talented man and has taken what he does and perfected it. Although he may have questions sometime, that is normal with any craft. I think it would be fun to get a list of all crafts that people don't practice anymore or very few people practice and try them. Wouldn't that be fun?!
Another craft that is dying is a piano tuner. Yes, someone that tunes piano's for a living. There are several different types of pianos and a piano tuner must know how to tune them all. Most are tuned the same way, but there are some that require different methods and instruments. Both of those are unique, but I would be interested in learning about some really rare occupations or hobbies that people have. If anyone knows of one, let me know!
