The manufacture era 製造時代

Growing demand for his pipes made it necessary to look for a larger workshop and hiring first co-workers around 1967/68.他管日益增長的需求做出必要尋找一個更大的廠房，僱用圍繞1967至1968年第一同事吧。 A most important step ahead in his career was the contract with Wally Frank , Ltd. of NYC who were in search of attractive, well made but affordable Danish freehands and fancy pipes fitting to their vast offer of low end or midrange pieces but with a stress on quality.在未來的職業生涯最重要的步驟是合同弗蘭克·沃利紐約市，公司誰是尋找有吸引力的，製作精良但價格合理的丹麥freehands和花哨的管道接頭其龐大的低端或中端塊報價，但有壓力質量。

"Attractive, well made but affordable Danish freehands and fancy pipes" - this was exactly what Karl Erik offered! “好看，製作精良但價格合理的丹麥freehands和花哨的管道” - 這正是卡爾·埃里克·提供！ So to say that's the kernel of his lifelong philosophy as a pipemaker!所以說這是他一生的理念作為pipemaker內核！ And indeed, Karl Erik always did it his way and always somewhat differently as others.事實上，卡爾·埃里克總是做了他的方式，總是略有不同的人。

As one of the few notable Danes Karl Erik Ottendahl dedicated himself to the needs of the normal pipe smoker with a normal income.由於幾個顯著丹麥人卡爾·埃里克·Ottendahl的一個獻身於正常煙斗吸煙者與正常收入的需要。 In the end he was one of the last of this tier.到底他是最後這一層之一。 He never made any pretence of the fact that his "hand mades" were prefabricated to a large extent on automated machines and only the last steps of fine-shaping and finishing were carefully made by hand.他從來沒有的事實，他的“手積木”被預製在很大的程度上自動化機器，只用手工進行精心製作的最後一步精細整形和精加工任何藉口。 But he never employed a copy milling, so many KE pipes may look very similar but not two are identic.但他從未使用的仿形銑床，這麼多的KE管看起來非常相似，但並不2頃同文。 As well the bulk of the stems was supplied by Stanwell in a close-to-finished state.還有大部分的莖是由供應斯坦韋爾在貼近成品狀態。 Stanwell also did the the sand blasting for KE to a large extent.斯坦韋爾也做了噴砂為KE很大程度上。

All in all he was much more successful with this peculiar manner of fabrication than many of the low-output artisans who populate the pipemakers' Olympus but hardly know how to pay the electricity bill.總而言之，他是更成功的製造這種奇特的方式比許多低輸出工匠誰填充管材生產商“奧林巴斯但不知道如何支付電費的。 Always keeping a watchful eye on quality his career developed fine and he was frequently making pipes for various labels in Denmark and the United States.始終保持注視質量他的職業生涯開發精細，他經常被製作煙斗在丹麥和美國各種標籤。 While doing this he administered a manufacture employing up to fifteen craftsmen, each of them specialising in certain steps of the production.儘管這樣，他管理的製造從業人員達十五工匠，他們每個人專門從事某些步驟生產。 Namely Bent Nielsen (see Benner ) and Peder Christian Jeppesen (see Neerup ) later became respectable pipemakers on their own.即特尼爾森 （見本納 ）和基督教的Peder傑普遜 （見Neerup ）後來對自己的尊敬管材生產商。
