My trade is shoemaking. I opened my own shop in 2003 in Oakland and I'm still there most mornings.
Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I try to remember everyone's name.
More about Axel
Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.

What gifts mean to Axel: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
