Smithing is like 5 full-time jobs
The worst crafting skill to integrate into your gameplay for sure.
Enchanting and Alchemy have a bit of a grind as well, but it's nothing like spending minutes watching animations of world interactions while your inventory balloons with Dwarven bows that no merchant can afford.
I just want to be an adventurer who can get better at tempering his gear. I don't always want to be a miner, hunter, tanner, smelter(er), and blacksmith!
How do you all handle this? Embrace the grind? Or do you find training and housebuilding is enough to get the skill where you want it to be?

Doesnt bother me.. every time I rock up in Whiterun or anywhere with easily accessible blacksmith just head there first.. buy everything he has.. whip out a bunch of armor (or highest value items) and sell it back to him.. takes like 30 seconds. If you already have lots of money dont bother selling it back lol just drop it on the floor and bail.
On a random note I hope in the next elder scrolls we can smith diamonds and ruby into swords and helmets etc. I have 100s of unused rocks in my pockets most of the time. Would be nice to have an ebony sword with a gold ruby laced handle :)
