12. Perfumery. Perfumers use a range of tools such as scent strips, pipettes, beakers, and droppers, along with a vast palette of natural and synthetic scent ingredients.

13. Leatherworks. Leatherworking requires a variety of specialized tools. These might include various types of knives (for cutting leather), punches (for making holes), mallets (for striking other tools), needles (for sewing), awls (for marking and piercing leather), rivets and snaps (for fastening), and edge bevelers (for finishing edges). In addition, items like leather, thread, dye, and finish are all materials a leatherworker might use.

14. Metalworks. Metalworkers use an array of tools depending on the specific type of work they’re doing. Blacksmiths, for example, use hammers, tongs, and anvils, as well as a forge to heat the metal they’re working. Other types of metalwork might require saws, files, pliers, torches (for welding or soldering), and various types of safety equipment.

15. Glassworks. Like metalwork, glasswork encompasses a range of techniques, each with its own set of tools. Stained glass artists, for example, use glass cutters, pliers, soldering irons, and grinders, as well as the glass itself and other materials like copper foil and solder. Glassblowers, on the other hand, use a blowpipe, a furnace, and various types of shears and tweezers, as well as the molten glass they’re shaping.

While each craft requires its own set of specific tools and techniques, there’s also a shared spirit of creativity, craftsmanship, and a love for the chosen material or medium. Remember that each of these crafts requires not only the right tools, but also a good deal of skill, knowledge, and experience. Each one is a world in itself, with its own techniques, traditions, and secrets to discover. The world of crafts is an embodiment of the human drive to create, to express, and to make our mark on the world.
