Some things I've noticed (mostly version 1.3):
Boots of Striding +6 needs the Bear's Endurance spell, not Cat's Grace.
Several of the requirements of a mold are wrong: needs two leather hides, not one or three as stated... that sort of thing.
The Invulnerable Armor doesn't work with Mithral full plate. Does it work with half-plate, maybe? I did find that three umber hulk hides and the half-plate mold make a really nice set of mind-spell resistant armor. But I couldn't find more than two red dragon hides to try that instead.
Shields: using the right mold, making a shield from metal ingots is easy. But how to use the red dragon hide, or some other non-metalic material? I tried combining metal and non-metal... no luck. Surely there's no gem requirement. Maybe it's considered a Craft Wonderous Item or something.
The Greater Mantle of Spell Resistance only is usable by wizards and sorcerers, which can be a real bummer once you've used the King's Tear to make it.
Anyone played around with combinations enough to uncover how to make a helm? An adamantine helm is referred to as existing, but helms like belts and boots don't use a mold. Several other helms would be great if we knew the formula: Headband of the Binder, Helm of Brilliance, Helm of the Stranger. Boots of Speed (constant Haste spell) would be excellent. Probably a leather hide, cast Haste on the workbench, but what essence and what gem?
Crafting problems
I've not dabbled much into crafting outside making of a few weapons, but it is not surprising if some of the recipes are wrong/bugged.
I never managed to actually make dragon hide armor as far as I recall, so can't help you there either.
All the recipes I found in the game did not mention anything of such helmets as you speak (other then Headband of Intellect) and can be found listed in this excel spreadsheet:
[url="http://www.svelmoe.dk/files/craft.xls"]crafting sheet[/url].
Note that these are not the recipies for creating weapons and armor, but the enchants and "wondrous items", but the helmet you speak would I've not seen. (I really should take the time to make it contain normal crafts as well).
I would guess it would be possible to crack open the toolset and then check the properties on those crafting benches and then follow their scripts to see what recipes exists and if such that you request actually do exists.
