Some people seem to know how to do everything; when they start making something the result is always good. '''Lars-Göran Markunger''' (*1960) in '''Halmstad''' is that kind of a person. He has drawn and built his house and an older house, which was on the lot when it was bought, he has renovated and made into a workshop. When I was walking around in his beautiful house, I saw many beautiful things and when asking, I often got the answer that Lars-Göran had made it himself. In the hall there was a picture of an Alfa Romeo that looked completely real, but it was a model Lars-Göran build for his son many years ago. It was driven with an electric engine and the boy could drive it around the garden. I did not find out for sure if Lars-Göran himself was a golfer, but he had made a fantastic putter that must be a dream for an enthusiastic golf player. A friend who was with me when I visited Lars-Göran is a golfer, and he was very enthusiastic about it. | Some people seem to know how to do everything; when they start making something the result is always good.

For a living Lars-Göran is working in a glass factory. So glass is his profession, but it is difficult to find any material that is not familiar to Lars-Göran. And he finds it thrilling to combine materials, and just that made him interested in making pipes a few years ago. At that time he did not smoke a pipe at all, but enjoyed an occasional cigar. So Lars-Göran is not a heavy smoker, but nowadays he often smokes a pipe instead of a cigar. “But”, Lars-Göran tells me, “my father, who is now 87 years old, is an inveterate pipe-smoker. He is from the old school and wants his pipes to be well broken in, so that there is just a small hole left for the tobacco. I have made a pipe for him, but he is always complaining that the tobacco chamber is much too big”. | For a living Lars-Göran is working in a glass factory.
