Svend Hangaard was born in 1944 in Jutland, and became a pipe maker later in life, after retiring from his work as a prison warden, but there is an interesting twist. He first played with making pipes while working in the prison, and even worked pipe making into a project for the inmates. He wanted to give them something productive to do that would also provide them both a useful end product and minimal opportunity to harm themselves or each other. He provided them with pre-drilled stummels (via [[Henrik Jorgensen]], [[Poul Ilsted]], and [[Tao]], then all at the Svendborg pipe factory) and set his wards to shaping briar. | Svend Hangaard was born in 1944 in Jutland, and became a pipe maker later in life, after retiring from his work as a prison warden, but there is an interesting twist.

Being a skilled craftsman and a pipe smoker, it is not surprising that Svend became interested in making pipes. He made his first pipe in 1987. It was just for fun, but he wanted to learn more. He already had a lathe, and arranged to visit [[Poul Ilsted]] to see how a pipe was made professionally. But with a full time job, it was hard to find the time for pipe making. | [[File:SvendHangaard SmoothBrandy.jpg|thumb|Smooth Brandy, Courtesy [http://smokingpipes.com Smokingpipes.com]]][[File:Svend hangaard.jpg|thumb|left|Svend Hangaard, courtey [http://www.monjureinternational.com Monjure International]]]Svend had also been a cabinetmaker, so he was familiar with wood and tools, and handwork was already something of a passion.
