Throughout this period, Sauro continued to develop his pipe making abilities. He spent a few days with [[DG Pipe|Gabriele dal Fiume]] in 2019 in order to learn the ‘hand-drilling’ techniques first popularized by Danish pipe makers in the 1950s and 60s. This guidance, along with an array of new, high-quality tools in his workshop, allowed Sauro to expand the variety of pipe shapes he could explore, especially the free-hand, asymmetrical designs that are hallmarks of the artisan pipe movement. | Throughout this period, Sauro continued to develop his pipe making abilities.

Sauro also began to take on students of his own. One of these was pipe maker [[Manù]], who also accompanied Sauro to meet Gabriele dal Fiume. But perhaps Sauro’s most defining achievement as a teacher would come at a most unexpected time: during the lock-downs across the world in 2020. | Sauro also began to take on students of his own.
