buying a chisel doesn't make you a master sculptor

  If you've been selling the most advanced, most capable chisels for generations, unassailable, while your client master sculptors exchange titles.... I don't know what that makes you--kingmaker doesn't quite fit--but it's not nothing. It might make you wary of getting too close (figuratively or physically) to any particular client, lest you risk falling from grace as your client invariably will.
