Calculating leather goods

Is there any chance you could make some of the tools yourself? If it's that hard to get tools in Egypt, you may have a business opportunity on your hands! If you can make a few items like a skiving knife or an awl, you could cover some of your bigger tool costs. Just an idea.

I have made a few of my own basic tools, and I can't say I'm particularly skilled at it, but I do get quite a few requests to buy them.
