Vekke, I'm pretty sure that Patents & Such can only be acted upon by someone if you try to sell the patented thing and make money off of it. It's not like the police will come & kick down your door if they see you with a copy of something. The individual, or company that owns the patent would have to take legal action against you to get you to quit selling them, so if you just make it for yourself....I'd say you're safe. (**Disclaimer** I could be wrong, not a lawyer myself....so don't go dragging me into some Finnish court if you take my advice and the cops kick down your door after all!)
