I would think only if you were trying to sell the tools commercially. Anyway
go ahead and make them. I won't tell.

Wouldn't make him a felon, in any case. The worst he'd be doing is

You can reproduce any patented item for your own personal use. If
it's used commercially (a tool) or sold, then you're just waiting to
