Adolfo Moraga Rodríguez was a cobbler and a prominent saddler who -in his heyday- had stubborn clients not only from the commune, but from the region for his fine work in Chilean saddle, where leather work with the neatness of the seams ensured quality work and durability, highly appreciated by its customers.
Along with his children -who helped him mainly in shoe repair- in his youth, he maintained his workshop with a wide preference for a long time, where the quality of the work and punctuality was the mark; the one that his son Mario inherited and whose trade he exercises to this day.
In the memory, with no less merit, are other cobblers, such as Nicanor Cáceres, Gustavo Díaz, Alfredo Poblete, Carlos Fuentes Meneses, Viterbo Osorio, Mario Moraga Cáceres, Rosamel Osorio and wife Magdalena León, these last three being fully valid.
Tools: However, because this ancient trade remains in force -like the tools- almost all of them are still for daily use: needles, awls, cobbler's hammer, leg (cast iron with 3 points, in each of them a plate with the shape of a man's shoe and another of a woman's shoe, heel), rasps. And other inputs, nails, tacks, points, sandpaper (to sharpen knives), anilines, inks, pastes or bitumen, lasts, etc.
