Question

How were tools cloth and most other goods made before the industrial revolution?

Answer 1

Tools, cloth and most other goods were made by hand prior to the Industrial Revolution.  Due to improvements in automation and assembly lines, more goods were produced at a lower price during the Industrial Revolution.  Machines replaced hand tools and steam was used to run the machines that made the tools.  Cloth and shoes also became machine-made. Another outcome of the Industrial Revolution was the implementation of the factory system.
