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.

Upon retiring in 2007, he contacted [[Kai Nielsen]], who was willing to help, and he then met [[Joao Reis]] and [[Karsten Tarp]]. All of them encouraged him and gave him the help he needed to develop his skills. They also encouraged him to join them at the Chicago pipe show. It was a great experience and his pipes were very well received--all of them were sold. His pipes now sell well in the US, and there is growing interest for them in China. | ||
