1. Woodworking. Just imagine, taking a piece of wood and transforming it into something new. A carving, table, or even a boat. Being able to work with wood is cool.
2. Shoemaking. Once upon a time, skilled craftsmen made shoes to fit your feet. Not any feet, but yours. If you can get a pair of custom shoes made, your feet will thank you.
3. Hatmaking. Hats come in many styles, and can be very useful. Hats are amazing, and so are those who make them.
4. Bookbinding. There is so much knowledge in the world, but it would be difficult to share that knowledge if there wasn't a way to record and store it. Books are one way to do that, but someone has to transform a stack of papers into a book.
5. Glassblowing. Being able to take a blob of molten glass (called a gather), and shape it into something is awesome.
6. Watchmaking. Being able to make something that can accurately keep time is fantastic.
7. Spinning. Being able to take fibers and transform them into yarn that you can then use for other crafts is really cool.
8. Calligraphy. Writing is awesome, and with calligraphy, the words you write can become visually stunning. Calligraphy brings a nice personal touch to any letter.
9. Cake decorating. Cakes fresh from the oven can be a little bland to look at. But that cake can be transformed into so many different things. The only limit is the baker's skills and imagination.
10. Saddlemaking. There are a lot of different types of saddles. Being able to fit a saddle to a horse and its rider is not only useful to them, but shows the skill of the saddlemaker.
