Re: Low Tech Crafting
Your primary resource on low-tech crafting is Low-Tech Companion 3: Daily Life and Economics, mostly Chapter 5, "Manufacturing". It's got rules for crafting a wide variety of stuff, how to make items of higher or lower quality than the default, and other useful stuff.
It doesn't really cover research or design, but I think the invention rules in the Basic Set would actually cover that reasonably well. You've just got to mostly ignore the costs for different complexity levels of inventions, and use a slightly more subjective definition of the complexity levels.
