If blacksmiths make things out of metal, what do other colors of smith make?

You can remember them all with this popular nursery rhyme:

A blacksmith makes things out of metal.

A whitesmith makes records of queries.

A graysmith makes facts about serial killers up to match all of his theories.

A greensmith makes plants into tables.

A brownsmith grinds tables to dust.

A redsmith takes dust from those tables and plants and applies it to mirrors to rust.

A yellowsmith makes things from acids.

A bluesmith can make things from bases.

A chartreusmith can make things from any material, regardless of what their pH is.

A taupesmith makes things out of paper.

Eggshellsmiths carve stuff out of shell.

An ivorysmith poaches ivory, and that’s why they’re going to hell.

An orangesmith makes stuff that’s orange.

A purplesmith makes stuff that’s purple.

A silversmith makes things from silver, which is just the truth because nothing rhymes very well with the aforementioned colors.
