There are two kinds of TL a character has.

One is the High TL advantage. This grants you access to stuff no one else has, and is a prerequisite for high TL skills.

The other is the TL of a specific skill. And you can buy two versions of the skill with different TL's. For example: Machinist (TL3), which is essentially a blacksmith, and Machinist (TL 7), which is probably what you think of when you think of a machinist. There are rules for what to do if you have the wrong TL for the tools or task you are attempting.

That's the RAW foundation.

EDIT: Of course, if you're going that crazy, you may want to just use a wildcard skill and call it a day.
