Tools For Farming


Between the eighth century and the eighteenth century, the tools of farming basically stayed the same and just a few things were changed. In the Europe-centred Industrial Revolution, animal power and human labour were first argued. But, it was almost completely replaced with  new machines that changed the way people farmed forever.

The sewing machine is a textile machine which you use to stitch fabric together, cards and other materials together. An English man Thomas Saint in 1790. Thomas did not advertise that he had made the Sewing Machine. This sewing machine was for canvas and leather. They say that Saint would of had a working sewing machine, but there was no evidence that there was one. He only had models of how they should look and be used. Josef Madersperger an Australian tailor started to invent a sewing machine in 1807.  





The Tin Can was made in 1810 by a British man Peter Durand. In the year 1812, Peter had sold his patent to two English men. After selling this, the two men set up a commercial canning factory. By 1813 they sold their first can to the British Army. Most cans have identical and parallel tops that are round tops and bottom. The only thing that they can be identified by is the labels that are printed around the outside of them.
