Fairy Fixit is my crafty one, as she is quite skilled at ivory carving and scrimshaw, as well as carving in general. She also has a bit of a green thumb, or whatever is the equivalent for growing fungus. She will ask for help dealing with magics that aren't teleportation or farming related.

Amascut, surprisingly, is good at rigging up arcane macinery, even though she comes from a pre-industrial world. But she likes breaking things more than crafty stuff so there isn't many occasions when she builds things.

OH WAIT! Bonfires! She builds the best bonfires! Sometimes they are even goat-shaped!

Autor is good at knitting and embroidery, and terrible at large projects that involve hammers and saws.

By contrast, Baze is a weaponsmaster and excellent whittler, though terrible at knitting.

They both struggle to pick things up--Baze cut himself multiple times when he first whittled--but are persistent enough to persevere until thry get good.

Sahaal repairs his own wargear, although that probably doesn't count. He does maintain his Storm Eagle, though, and that takes significantly more work.

Arts and crafts aren't his thing, but appropriately for someone called the Talonmaster, he's really good with a knife. So carving and whittling he'd probably be competent at, although Sahaal's only done either of those those when working on trophies to hang from his armour.

As a Space Marine, it's not a question of having two left thumbs, he can physically do anything he could reasonably put his mind to. For him, it's a case of almost no artistic taste or sensibilities. He'd be able to tell you if he liked the look of something, but that's about it.

Hawkeye cross-stitches and folds origami animals.

Wilford cooks. It's not a hobby for him, but it's also just about the only domestic thing he doesn't hate.

He's very good at admitting when he doesn't know how/want to do something, and will usually find someone else to pay to do it for him.
