Jodog had passed some periods of time with its development. In 1930s, there were
some many pande besi in Jodog such as pande gong, pande roda gerobak, and
pande of agriculture appliances and home appliances. Pande besi kept holding on
at that time though there was an economic crisis. In 1940s, pande besi became to
decline because of some wars. However, in 1950s, pande besi got up and become
a sector that cannot be separated from agriculture. 1970s was the anticlimax of the
development of pande besi since the product of pande besi in Jodog had been

generations to make pande besi as their profession in 1990s.
