Fallout: New Vegas Crafting

Basics
Crafting is used for building a large range of things, which means items have a lot more practical value than in Fallout 3. Crafting covers creating custom ammunition with the use of the Repair skill, creating custom weapons using the Science skill, and through the Survival skill for cooking food and making medicinal items.

Reloading bench


One of the reloading bench's primary purposes is to convert different forms of ammunition to others, making otherwise useless ammo immediately valuable. However, these conversions do not share the same hulls needed, sharing only lead, powder, and primer, so these are not a straight conversion.

Workbench


The work benches in the Mojave Wasteland are used to create custom weapons from schematics and other items.

Campfire


The Campfires in the Mojave Wasteland are used to cook up raw meats, and to create a wide variety of potions, chems, and elixirs. Campfires are scattered around the wasteland and will usually be found surrounded by some form of benches or makeshift bedding. Campfires may be found lit or unlit, but they still all function the same way.

Poisons (Venoms)
All poisons are created at campfires. Poisons are used to coat melee or thrown weapons and can have massive effects on your enemies. Note that one dose of poison is enough for one application to an enemy. All recipes make 3 doses.
