Due to his faible for metal and as a balancing element to his wearing down occupation he set up an outstanding equipped precision workshop, in which he worked regularly for one or two hours a day. The avid pipe smoker bred out the idea to carve a pipe himself. Telling his tobacconist about that, he was adviced to contact Hans "Former" Nielsen, who produced the Bentley pipes at that time in Kleinlützel in the Swiss Jura. Nielsen kindly gave him many useful tips about pipemaking and in addition he also received the first blocks of briar. | Due to his faible for metal and as a balancing element to his wearing down occupation he set up an outstanding equipped precision workshop, in which he worked regularly for one or two hours a day.

In 1990 Daniel Jud began as a hobbyist but very systematically with the manufacture of pipes. Later he paid several visits to Jaques Craen, the owner of Genod in Saint-Claude. Jaques Craen mediated some further dexterities and Jud lateron obtained most of his briar from there. Yet all in all as a pipemaker of passion he’s an autodidact. | In 1990 Daniel Jud began as a hobbyist but very systematically with the manufacture of pipes.

Not earlier than in 2000, Jud considered his pipes to be good enough to test-market them. In deed they found approving reception by some collectors and helped making contacts to (among others) Cornelius Mänz and the well known collector Jörg Lehmann, who supported him with valuable references and provided access to various materials such as horn, exotic woods and means for the surface treatment. | Not earlier than in 2000, Jud considered his pipes to be good enough to test-market them.
