+'''Erik Nielsen''' is fairly new on the Danish pipe scene and is still in the process of defining his own style. He worked as an apprentice under [[Balleby Pipes|Kurt Balleby]], for about two years, where he learned all of his basic skills. Now Erik has his own workshop and makes pipes under his own name. Keep an open eye on the pipes from Erik, you get high value at a reasonably price - and his style is rapidly improving.

 I was born in 1949, have been smoking the pipe since I was 13-14 years old, and always enjoyed it.

 In the time from 1980-2000, I was working for the Danish Railroad (DSB), but an accident at work stopped that. I have always wanted to make my own pipes and one week before the accident I bought some old pipe maker equipment along with a friend. Fate made the accident my opportunity.

 The first pipes I made was fantastic – well, in at least I thought so myself... I was carried away and spent all my time in the little workshop with the old tools. My wife was very patient, although I think she thought I was going crazy.
