JEM Report post Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) My name is Jan-Erik Melkersson and I have been in the shoe trade since 1976 both in the orthopedic and the traditional bespoke trade. The last 7 years I have started a new project which is really nice to do and that is to arrange courses for those interested in shoemaking. It is great to pass a long some of the knowledge I got from colleagues and other forums like this. Besides making shoes I have a wife, three kids and two cows to take care of. Could be pretty hectic sometimes! We are living up north in Sweden near the town Östersund. I would like to introduce to you some of my work and now I will read some of all the postings around here; Edited March 2, 2009 by JEM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomSwede Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Hi and Welcome Janne!! Very good looking shoes and boots, very professional!!!! This board is very friendly and has great atmosphere and everyone is very helpful and willing to share their knowledge and experience. Kul att se lite Svenskar här också! Vad det ser ut som så behöver nog inte du så mycket hjälp men kanske finns annat som lockar. Just skor är något som lyst lite med sin frånvaro här så ett väldigt välkommet tillskott att se så snygga skor här. Själv bor jag i Gävle. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
