I am looking for a word indicating that I am interested in working in a workshop, meaning working with machines, wood carpentry, metal carpentry, even making automatons, and making stuff with hands. I am going to add this to the interests part of my C.V.

  • Are you trying to express your interest in that as opposed to working in an office?

  • You are covering quite a few different skills. Machining metal parts, carpentry, and pottery are all different things. I wouldn't look for one word to summarize. I would list the specific things I was interested in, much as you already have done in your question. There is a chance that a summarizing word may be incorrectly interpreted and skimmed over.

Woodworking, whether by machine or by hand carving, metalworking whether by machining or welding are all handiwork. As is knitting and sewing. People with such skills are called craftsmen. Or if you prefer; craftspeople, and their ability is called craftsmanship.

Working with lathes and mills to cut and shape metal is called "machining."
