Jørn says: 

Already as an apprentice I began to produce special tools for pipe making. I designed and built up a lathe for this purpose. This was the first of many machines that I built for pipe making. However, I don't make pipes in the industrial way. The machines only help me making the hard work a little easier, and in the end every single pipe is finished in the handmade way. 

Still, for me, the designing and making machines have an additional meaning being a creative challenge itself. Here of course I take great advantage from my experience in the mechanics. 

When I had finished my education in 1970 (21 years old) and subsequently done my military service, I worked as a locksmith for many years. For some years the pipe making nearly stopped, but I developed my skills in the technical area and my interest in good workmanship, including a sense of accuracy and perfection. In the course of time I got the opportunity to create machines also in my paid job.  

When I was about 30, I came across a block of briar, and I started making pipes again and found great pleasure in it. 

Jørgen L. was mostly mostly known for his Stokkeby pipes, but he also produced under his own brand. He invented for example the two chambered tobacco blenders pipe. This large half bent pear with saddle stem shows a nice flame grain. The pipe sits firmly on the table and is stained with a light warm brown color.
