Crafting is an in-game system that allows players to create specific items for use in Team Fortress 2. The items that can be created include weapons, hats, or materials that can be used for further crafting, such as scrap metal. Crafting is usually conducted by utilising unwanted or duplicate items gained through the Item drop system. In order to create items, the player must follow blueprints, some of which are initially available and others which must be discovered by the player through experimentation. After following a valid and undiscovered blueprint recipe, the player will gain both the item specified by the blueprint, and the recipe. If the player attempts to craft an item without a corresponding blueprint, they will be notified that no such recipe exists and no items will be crafted. The items used in the unsuccessful craft attempt will also be returned to the player.
Stock items that appear in the standard backpack as a result of using a Name Tag or Description Tag cannot be crafted, even if the Name/Description is removed. (e.g. two Scatterguns cannot be crafted into scrap metal). Tools also cannot be crafted under any circumstances, including Paint Cans, Name Tags, Description Tags, Crate Keys and Dueling Mini-Games. Crafting was introduced in the WAR! Update.

Golden Wrench
Main article: Golden Wrench
- From July 5 to July 9, 2010, players crafting any items in-game had a chance of finding an extremely rare item, the Golden Wrench, of which only 100 were made available. A series of times when a Wrench was designed to drop was utilized by Valve, and when a player crafted an item after one of these times, a random drop could occur giving the player their crafted item and a Golden Wrench. When a Wrench was found, it would be announced to all online Team Fortress 2 servers at once in the form of a dialogue box in the center of the screen and an accompanying soundbite. This was only available before and leading up to the Engineer update, until all 100 wrenches were found. An announcement was also shown when one of these wrenches was destroyed. These wrenches have the ability to turn ragdolls into gold statues, but are otherwise identical to the default Wrench.
- Due to this event, the Smelt Reclaimed and Refined Metal blueprints were temporarily disabled until all of the 100 Golden Wrenches had been acquired, to stop people from endlessly smelting and re-crafting their Metal until they got one. These blueprints were disabled up until the Mann-Conomy Update, even though the Engineer Update was completed and no Golden Wrenches could be found.

- Added several crafting recipes for new items
- The "Fabricate Class Headgear" recipe no longer has a chance of creating all-class hats.
Other undocumented changes:
- The recipe for Scrap Metal was previously 3 primary, secondary, or melee weapons.
- When Miscellaneous items were first separated from Hats, due to players wanting to equip the Camera Beard and other Spy hats simultaneously, the Camera Beard began dropping at the same rate as weapons. It was not unusual for players to find many in the course of a week. Despite the Camera Beard being considered as a 'headgear', you were unable to craft two together to get another hat but you were able to craft them together to create another Miscellaneous piece of headgear. After the Camera Beard drop-rate was patched in a subsequent update, it became possible to craft two of them together to make a hat.
- Grenade, Building, Head, and PDA(1) Slot Tokens were once listed in the items_game.txt file and were valid items, but none of them were given blueprints, and as such these items were removed from the game during the Mann-Conomy Update. It was previously possible to craft a Head Slot Token by placing 4 hats in the crafting window due to an oversight, but the blueprint and all instances of the item were finally removed when the Mann-Conomy update was launched (For example, this backpack before and after the update).
Notes
- The event hats and other hats/items of limited availability do not count toward the Rebuild Headgear recipe. These include Bill's Hat, the Ghastly Gibus/Ghastlier Gibus, the Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask, the Scream Fortress Halloween Masks, the Cheater's Lament, Max's Severed Head, the Alien Swarm Parasite, the Earbuds, Ellis' Cap, the four service medals (Mercenary, Soldier of Fortune, Grizzled Veteran, and Primeval Warrior), the Gentle Manne's Service Medal, the four dueling badges (Bronze Dueling Badge, Silver Dueling Badge, Gold Dueling Badge, Platinum Dueling Badge), the Mann Co. Cap, the Lumbricus Lid, the Wiki Cap, the Bounty Hat, the Treasure Hat, the Hat of Undeniable Wealth And Respect, Stockbroker's Scarf, Foster's Facade, and the promotional items from Poker Night at the Inventory (License to Maim, the Dealer's Visor, and the Dangeresque, Too?).
- Some cases have been reported of players "finding" scrap metal. This is most likely the cause of the player losing connection to Steam after clicking the craft button. This means the items are used in the craft recipe, yet the result of the craft remains uncollected until the player dies in a server: giving the "PLAYERNAME has found: METALTYPE" alert.
- When crafting, if metals or items disappear unexpectedly, a fast method of making them re-appear is to access the main menu and enter the Mann Co. Store.
- Robin Walker confirmed that all items seen in the store (with the exception of Crate Keys, Secret Saxton and Pile o' Gifts) can randomly drop in-game. [1] (This is no longer true as of the Scream Fortress event; the Spine-Chilling Skull and Voodoo Juju are both listed in the store as being unobtainable via random drop. They can however, be crafted with items available via random drop.)
- All weapons or hats purchased in the Mann Co. Store are uncraftable and untradable; though as of the October 6, 2010 Patch all items marked as "Store Promotion" were made craftable but not tradable. Anything crafted with a Store Promotion item will be itself untradable.
- Items gained via achievements before the Mann-Conomy update were temporarily uncraftable and untradable, but this was changed shortly after so that they can both be crafted and traded.
- If an untradable item is used in the crafting of a hat, weapon or item, then the resulting item will also be untradable.
- Untradable metal, and items made with untradable metal, were reverted to tradable until a subsequent patch was released due to a glitch. This behavior was observed during the Scream Fortress event with Voodoo Jujus and Spine-Chilling Skulls crafted using untradable Haunted Metal Scrap. Halloween Hats crafted prior to the November 10, 2010 Patch became tradable after the update, but hats crafted after that have reportedly remained untradable, suggesting Valve has fixed the glitch.
- Crafting two unusual hats will result in a normal hat being crafted, not another unusual.
