Franky and Usopp are pretty self-sufficient when it comes to making things, and any basic tools they can just buy. They almost already fill the role of blacksmith. As for utensils, unless Luffy eats them (which frankly wouldn't surprise me one bit) there is no reason to make more of them. And in the case of the swords, I've seen Zoro take care of his swords, and I assume Brook does the same.
