Good job and well thought out.If the "smithing" turned out to be anywhere similar to what you have come up with than I will be happy.
When I think of mining and crafting I think of Ultima Online.If I recall correctly Todd Howard said that the Ultima series has been an influence on him.
I enjoyed mining and smithing in that game.Thought it was great,especially for it's time.What you came up with reminds me a bit of that game.
Here is a link to the mining for UO http://uo.stratics.com/content/skills/mining.php

Very detailed and interesting if anyone is interested.I hope this was an inspiration.I think this game also had "tailoring" as a skill and you could make your own clothing.Was a long time ago though.

Thanks, and UO's method seems interesting, but I know it is a bit too late to hope for anything like these ideas if something similar had not been implemented yet.
But if there is something similar in the game, we can have a hope for some influence.
