So you think you invented the idea of using a child's fork as a stitching tool? Most of my tools were adapted from some other use before they ended up in the leather shop. I spent a couple of thousand evenings and late nights pounding away at the kitchen table before I ever thought about having a leather shop. Actually, the "leather shop" only became a reality when my wife put her foot down and demanded that I get all the **** out of her house!

By the way, John Bianchi (Bianchi International) started out as a young police officer making holsters on his kitchen table. Best estimate I have heard is that his company produced about 40 million products before his retirement (he also served as a Brigadier General in the US Air Force Reserve).

You have been warned! I can do no more! You are on your own now!
