Faroe Islands – The Windsmith
Kappingarførir vøruprísir við meginlandið, so hví fara yvir um hav……..?
The only workshop of its kind in the country. Fully trained machinist and later musical instruments maker specialized in brass- and woodwind.
Having finished High School I worked as a truck driver and went to sea as a sailor. Later after 4 years of apprenticeship I got my diploma as a mechanical engineer in Tórshavn as well as a diploma in practical sailing. After that I graduated as a ship’s machinist in Denmark. I sailed for some years as a ship’s machinist in far seas and in european seas. I started another 4-year skilled training in crafts, this time in musical instruments making and repair. This I did partly in Norway and in England and specialized in brass- and woodwind instruments. I have now worked for some years in my own workshop.
