Daeryoon's guide is heavily outdated in regards to the solution and crafting stations required. As such, I am going to provide a list of all stations required as of
01/02/2024...
To save myself time, I have copied a large portion of the text from Daeryoon's solution and will simply add to it where necessary.

- Table and Chair: Table(s) - Craft from any Work Bench from 8 wood (various other materials again) - Chair - 4 wood (various other materials again)

- Alchemy Station - Create by placing any Bottle, Pink Vase, or Mug on top of any flat item of furniture such as a table, shelf, dresser, etc.
- Iron/Lead Anvil - Craft at Work Bench from 5 Iron/Lead Bars.
- Cooking Pot - Craft at Iron/Lead Anvil from 10 Iron Bars and 2 Wood.
- Sawmill - Craft at any Work Bench from 10 wood, 2 Iron Bars, and a Iron Chain (made from Iron bars).

- Heavy Work Bench - Crafted at Iron/Lead Anvil from 12 Wood and 8 Iron/Lead bars.
- Metal Sink - Craft at an Iron Anvil from 3 iron bars and 1 water bucket. (several other variants from pumpkins, mushrooms, honey, etc.)
- Teapot - Crafted at a furnace from 12 clay blocks and 12 bones.
- Campfire - Crafted from 10 wood and 5 torches. To use this station, you must go buy a marshmallow from the merchant (only sold when the Merchant's house is located in a snow biome), craft it into a "marshmallow on a stick" using wood. Place the marshmallow on a stick in your top row and highlight it. It should look like your character is holding it in front of his/herself. You must then stand next to the campfire with the stick over it (just like in real life) for about 12 seconds until the "marshmallow on a stick" turns into "cooked marshmallow". This is the only way to "use" the campfire.

The achievement has been updated and can no longer be obtained by opening the crafting menu for each station... You will now need to craft something specific to each station for it to count towards the achievement. For instance, crafting a Honey Chair at the Honey Dispenser. (A great resource for this is the
https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Terraria_Wiki... I would suggest looking up each station one by one and finding something to craft that is unique to each station.
Three things to make note of:
- Do NOT craft platforms at the different stations, these can be crafted anywhere and won't count as progress for the station in question. For instance, crafting a Honey Platform will not count towards using the Honey Dispenser as the Honey Dispenser isn't required to craft it.
- Secondly, don't craft blocks or bricks at a station if there is alternatives. These don't seem to count towards the Crafty achievement and you should always aim to craft some type of consumable, furniture, armour or decoration when possible.
- Thirdly, crafting work benches won't count towards the achievement as they can be crafted from a variety of resources without a crafting station.
If you don't want to go through the effort of acquiring all of the stations and resources needed to craft everything, I have an achievement world set up on Journey mode where this achievement (and many others) can be obtained within 10-15 minutes.
Send me a message on Xbox and we can arrange a time to work on it. A mic is required to access my achievement world.
