In 1999 Bård Hansen (b.1968) visited the town of [[Lillehammer]]. Two years earlier he had started smoking a pipe and now wanted to see where his pipes were made, even if he knew that the factory was closed long ago. To his disappointment nothing was left of the factory, but Bård was lucky in another way. He met Hans Tandberg, who had been working as a pipemaker in G. Larsen's factory for many years. When the factory was closed in 1979, Hans Tanberg bought machines and material from the factory and started making pipes himself. But by ow he ws old and wanted to retire, so he wanted to sell it all. Bård was interested in buying and an agreement was reached, but on one condition--Hans Tandberg had to teach Bård how to make pipes. Suddenly Bård Hansen was not only the owner of complete machinery for a workshop, he also had learned the basics of pipe-making and had a lot of material, including briar and ebonite. | In 1999 Bård Hansen (b.1968) visited the town of [[Lillehammer]].
