craptsmanship 

Da degree of either:
(1) how good someone is at pawning off lousy-quality merchandise, or

(2) how skilled someone is at "beating da house".
In da 1924 Will Rogers classic, "A Truthful Liar", ambassador Doolittle claims to have had excellent "craptsmanship" by scoring an impressive windfall when playing cards with the King, but his fellow townspeople dismissively wave off his tale as hogwash, and so perhaps said questionable story lacked "craptsmanship" in dat it failed to convince its audience.

Crapsmanship 

refers to the production or fabrication of sub-standard products by one who misguidedly feels their creations worthy of high praise; oblivious to their lack of skills wasting money, time, and perfectly good materials.
The cabinet Bobby built was yet another fine example of crapsmanship.

craftsmanshit 

A quality of manufacturing used by companies who would like their products to break within a short period of time, in order to sustain their sales. Common in DVD players, kitchen appliances, etc.
Is Devon an idiot? Apex put their finest craftsmanshit into that DVD player, and when it broke, he bought the same one!

Crapmanship 

Mediocre skill in an occupation or trade. Expertise in mediocrity. Poor outcome in a trade or business despite years of experience.
I always notice the crapmanship in the NYC subway repairs.

crapmanship 

Used to describe the overall poor quality of an item from design straight through to manufacturing and use.
Thanks to planned obsolescence and general crapmanship I have burned through two paper shredders in two years. That's bunk!

Crapsmanship 

The cheap lazy opposite of craftsmanship seen in lower quality bootlegs that don't even try to trick you into thinking you're buying the real thing, especially dollar store/poundland toys cast from molds of molds.
Would you look at the crapsmanship on this thing? Shoddy paint job, all the wrong colors, jagged plastic that reeks of crayon, barebones packaging, no articulation, easily breakable parts, the accessories are the wrong size, & it's a lot smaller than the original.
