Kelly Pedersen is right. Low-Tech Companion 3: Daily Life and Economics offer rules to help with low-tech crafting.

be warned however, it is somewhat time comsuming to get around it all in practice, and if the group have a mage that can help the crafter, it can go to ridicules levels of effectiveness.

It is almost like a minigame in it self. Be ready to use a calculator to find the material cost and time to build stuff. (and make friends help out to lessen the time needed inside the game)

A houserule we had in our group (had a fighter dwarf that was also a crafter) was that I was not allowed to sell stuff I made. It could quickly break the game money wise.

We had the best quality equipment avaible with the material available. So very effective to grant all the fighter types different version of very fine plate armour and very fine weapons.
