(Yes, Keltham has already asked about having wizards specialize in particular aspects of headband manufacture so they can form an assembly line.  The answer was that it wouldn't be easy even by Carissa's standards, given the way item crafting works; just having two people working on the same item is enough of a skill penalty.  So the best current plan is to have wizards trading off the assistive gadgets between each other, as they reach particular manufacturing stages in staggered steps; such that a large factory section only needs one assistive item per manufacturing stage, across many headband-assembly stations.)
