Tinkering
Tinkering is used to create various tools from metal (ingots). Use tinker's tools to open the Tinkering Trade Gump. Tinkering, Blacksmithing, Tailoring, and Carpentry can be used in conjunction to make many items. Gideon's Advice: Tinkering is somewhat expensive to raise. It is also quite useful if you're starting out because you can craft shovels from the ingots you're making to keep your weight low while mining.
