In one of our PenDragon Pass style games, our minimaxer played a smith. I think it was in large part because he was always of economic benefit to the clan. I don’t recall any actual making of stuff. (In HQ it would certainly be reasonable for clan members to augment with “Bralanth’s Bronzeworks” or the like, at either individual or clan level contest.)

So the GM may need to ask the player why a smith. Having power and prestige as a leading clan member could be just fine, without lots of bronze-working fiddly bits.
