Writing Crafts

How does one write a craft on LToB? Never really tried to do it before, but figure I'd find out how at the least. 
Here's one I came up with for boiling eggs, I have no idea if it would work or not. Any more advice is appreciated..
cset new cookery eggs boil
cset phase1 1st “You set $1 into a pot from $2 after filling it with water and placing it above $3.”
cset phase1 3rd “$n sets $1 into a pot from $2 after filling it with water and placing it above $3.”
cset phase1 time 60
cset phase1 object1 x3 ‘a large cream colored egg’ in-room
cset phase1 object2 ‘a large set of pots and pans’
cset phase1 object3 ‘a generic fire source’
cset phase2 1st “You wait for the water to boil, occasionally checking on the eggs to make sure they are alright.”
cset phase2 3rd “$n takes the time to check on the pot, waiting for the water to boil.”
cset phase2 time 40
cset phase2 skill cookery
cset phase2 check (here)
cset phase2 object1 x3 ‘a large cream colored egg’ in-room used
cset phase2 failure-1st “You’ve managed to ruin the eggs.”
cset phase2 failure-3rd “$n has somehow managed to ruin the eggs”
cset phase3 1st “Waiting for the eggs to boil until they are ready, you carefully drain the water and take out $4 one at a time.”
cset phase3 3rd “$n waits for the eggs to boil, finally draining the water from the pot and serving out $4 one at a time”
cset phase3 time 45
cset phase3 object4 x 3 ‘a hard-boiled egg’ produced

This would probably work, except you'd need to replace the items with their vnums - easily enough done.
Something to note, though - 60 seconds is probably a long time for a phase. Especially one as easy as... just putting the eggs in and putting that over the fire. People will be sitting their tapping their fingertips against their keyboard - maybe RPing a bit, but maybe hesitant to in case the next phase can come before they hit enter and their emotes are behind the echoes.
Also - no time on the last phase. That means, you'd complete it and get the last echo, but the person wouldn't get the object for another 45 seconds.
