I was now a pipesmoker, though neither dedicated nor skilled, yet. In the following years I tried quite a lot of different tobaccos and pipes of various quality. I never got the first class [[Orlik]] pipes, and I never got my [[Comoy's]] Blue ribbon, but I got a very nice [[Pibe-Dan]], and later on a couple [[Dunhill|Dunhill´s]]. After finishing school, at the age of 17, I got a job in the workshop of [[Erik Nørding]], who at that time had around 6-7 people in his workshop. Two of these have later become well known of their own, [[Poul Ilsted]] and [[Tao]]. I have regarded Ilsted as a friend since then. One more person from Nørding's workshop at that time did make a further career, allthough very short, Peter Rafn, who became [[S. Bang]]´s first pipemaker. | I was now a pipesmoker, though neither dedicated nor skilled, yet. In the following years I tried quite a lot of different tobaccos and pipes of various quality.

In the following years I had worked for [[Preben Holm]], and here again with two people who has made their own name: Per Hansen (S. Bang) and [[Poul Winslow]]. After a short period there, I changed to Larsen & Stigart, now almost forgotten, but among other things they did manage to supply Dunhill with wild danish fancy pipes. I had a very short period with Zettervig and finally came to W.Ø.Larsen. A lot of well known names have passed through [[W.Ø. Larsen|W.Ø.Larsen´s]] workshop, in my time it was Ilsted, [[Tonni Nielsen]], [[Ivan Holst Nielsen]], [[Ph. Vigen]]. | In the following years I had worked for [[Preben Holm]], and here again with two people who has made their own name: Per Hansen (S. Bang) and [[Poul Winslow]].

But now it was the time to establish my own workshop, and in 1975 I made it.

The pipes are stamped: '''''Eric Andersen - Handmade''''' (in an oval) and '''''Denmark'''''. Due to one of my other passions, painting, the signature in the future will be my initials '''''SEA - Denmark'''''. | |||
