There needs to be a way to advertise your craft to other players. For example, in Rift, a crafter can link their craft table in chat allowing others to click on it and shop for items they need/want.
 
If that isn't possible, then add a bulletin board at all craft stations so others can search for the crafters with listed available items available. 
 
I may not be wording things correctly, and if I'm not, I encourage others to add their input on this suggestion. Whatever the case, crafters need to get their crafts advertised somehow. Personally, I believe this would promote more to craft and help those who do craft to increase their income.

There so little money in crafting.  Even hawking trade and advertising youre a crafter leaves people int he dark as to the gear you can make, since you can hand tailor every piece of gear.
 
Would like a feature like this, where others can click on a person tradeskill (ala Rift / WOW style), and not only see what you can make, but go ahead and amp up the points as though they were you (talents, etc etc) so they can truly see the gear that could be made.

What about a tradeskill board that has a tab that you can include your skills on, and another tab that folks can pust a build order on?
 
Build orders could work something like a buy order on the CX. You post what you want (select from the full list of patterns) and post gold with it. Crafters can look at the board, choose one thing at a time to accept, and then they have 15 minutes to fill the order exclusively (temporarily removed from the board). If the crafter returns with the item in the 15 minutes, the "quest" is fulfilled and they are awarded the money from the crafter (minus the appropriate protostar usage fee, of course). If they don't, the quest appears on the board again and the crafter is fined 5% of the value of the item to discourage taking orders they can't fulfill. It could even give them the quest timer in their tracked quests.
 
With the new rune system incoming, this should be doable.

I would like to see a board/npcs of each craft, so people can actually see what armor/weapons are available to be crafted.  When i ask people what they want crafted, they give me weird off the wall requests.  Then i spend 5-10 mins trying to explain how crafting works. After that i don't craft for anyone for 2-3 weeks, because i don't want to explain stuff again.
 
Would love to have someone come up and tell me i want X with Red Socket have Y and blue socket have Z with max Y.

Bumping this because I really hope there will be a way to implement some sort of advertisements for crafters!

			At least let us link the output of a craft.

I don't understand this. If you craft something you can link it in chat?
 
The other issue is there is very little exclusivity. Everyone can craft everything in a given tree, and for the most part, due to sucky specials and such, the adventus-4 aren't even necessary that much better than epochos. If you craft a 4 fire/fusion slot adventus-4 that would be awesome, but you can't do this on demand, so you can't really advertise it.
 
Once we get some recipes that are 1) useful and 2) fairly exclusive - Datascape recipes? - then there'd be some sense in advertising.

Mayhaps more specificity would help.
 
Player 1: Hey can you craft me the chest of uber awesome with finesse, brutality and moxie?
Player 2: This one? *links [Chest of Uber Awesome]*
Player 1: Yes. I see I need 2 [Three-Nines Fine Carbon] let me purchase those for you.
*materials are exchanged*
Player 2: Check this out. *links [Chest of Uber Awesome] from the crafting table - it shows current stats + failure rate*
Player 1: Perfect!
*player 2 crafts the piece*

Ok, got it. Yes, that would be helpful. Heck, even seeing the stats based on core type used for yourself would be nice...

Without having to waste a core because you though you'd get more charges >_>
