I visited Sören Refbjerg last Friday
Sören closed down his factory and he picked me up at the centralstation, we were to make pipes together this afternoon just the 2 of us. Sören has 40 years of experiense in pipemaking and he makes 12 pipes/day. To see him work is to study mozart, he tought me some things about shaping on a sanddisc and fine grit sander convex disc. The sanddisc he uses is rotating 2800rpm and the convex is having 1400rpm. I have never beforre felt such ease in shaping as the disc he uses and the fine grit convex disc is just heavenly and pipes is smoothas silk after using it. Here is some pics. he uses oilhardened cardboard as back plate to his sanddisc and everything is perfect fit for best balance in disc.
