Former has about 45 years of experience carving pipes. At the age of 15 he got his first job - at [[Poul Rasmussen]]'s pipe shop in Copenhagen. Former spent two years there repairing pipes. The salary was very small. However, the education was large, because pipe repair taught him much about the way pipes worked. He learned all the different brands of pipes and their characteristics and soon he could repair just about any disaster that can befall a pipe. | Former has about 45 years of experience carving pipes.

After two years with Poul Rasmussen, Former found new challenges. The pipe maker [[Sven Knudsen]], brother of pipe maker [[Teddy Knudsen]], left his job as pipe carver with W.Ø. Larsen to start his own pipe factory, and Former began working with him part time while also retaining a job as machinist. | After two years with Poul Rasmussen, Former found new challenges.
