See help alterobj for restrictions. Make sure to take a look at Swus' fancy color editor for maximum prettiness in items.

When crafting a mundane item from any of the lists, you use the craft item with skillname and it pulls up a list of materials you can use with it if you have any applicable. So, if you wanted to make an iron pistol, you'd do craft pistol with weaponsmith with a billet of iron in your inventory. Once past the materials menu, you have a number of fields to fill out.
Lists your material type and quality.
Lets you set the file name which is used for making copies and bringing up information on your previously crafted mundane items.
Actual item name. Is used in certain messaging involving the type of the weapon, I.E. when you look it over. May also be used in verbose combat as the thing you're hitting with based on weapon type.
Size of the item. For armor and jewelry, it's best to pick something your race size or it won't generally fit. Weapons cannot be changed in size.
Identifying tags for interaction. When you look sword and look at an iron longsword, it has had “sword” set as an ID, which may also include “iron sword”, “iron longsword”, and just “longsword”. You can insert multiple, but don't use spaces between the commas to separate them.
The appearance of your item on the ground and in your inventory, also when people look at you. Note that the material name (I.E. iron) and the item type (I.E. pistol) are required in your short description. You cannot break up these two words with coloring them with multiple different colors in a single word, but you can make them a singular different color per word.
Seen when used with show and look at most commonly. This is the full description of the item and should include all visible features, even trade marks you might include.
Shows up when you study the item successfully. If you have a highly customized weapon with a trade mark only you usually use, then you could add your own lore and link it to your character through these recognized traits. Warning: Alterobj typically breaks this by replacing the lore text with the long description. (Nov4/22, update when fixed)
disenchant any magical item to get enchanting materials from it after a short period.
craft enchant brings up a menu for you which may be a bit overwhelming at first. It includes a number of functions, one of the most important two being the cost command in-menu. It lets you show the cost of enchanting the item, which is extremely useful for planning.
Success rate is based on your crafting skill involved in making the item in question. The maximum DC on a single enchant is 32. (enchantment level x 5, +3 after first bonus/special). Failure is somewhat randomized. (enchantment materials cost/8 + rolls for +1 to a maximum based on cost). Without the Mage/Warlock bonus, a minimum of 25 and a maximum of 32 should be your targets for regular success.
There are a lot. This covers each type briefly.
This is effectively the “+1” and vice versa you see at the end of an identified item and is required prior to placing anything else onto an item. Negative numbers mean the item is cursed and dictate the strength of the curse, the further into negative it is, the heavier the curse. Basic enchantment levels go up to +6 on player made items and you gain them based on your character level, max going up at a rate of 1 per 7 levels. Please note that on wearables, +1 adds +1 AC, and for weapons the enchantment level adds(? correct me if wrong) attack bonus and damage bonus. This means wearing a hat with +6 enchantment and nothing else added means you will still gain +6 armor class.
Allows you to boost a stat. Note that two different items that give +attribute will not stack. Max attribute bonus from player made items is +4.
