Not sure if this is a bug or what, but in any case 1 and 1 arnt adding up to 2.
This has happened crafting a silver heavy metal shield and a silver buckler both out of worthless grade silver ingots.
I start the craft project, and it says this will take an estimated 8 days. I log off. I log back on many hours later and it says you feel you are about 5 days closer to completing a silver bucker(or silver heavy metal shield). When i check craft it says i have 8 days remaining. Then when i log off again it appears as if the timer is reseting back to 8 days and it then takes the full amount of time again to complete the item.
Some items like a light metal shield say they take X time, and actually take that amount of time. This buckler and heavy metal shield however seem to either reset the time when you log back in, or are reseting the time when you check craft. I know the estimated time remaining on craft isnt 100% accurate, but it definitely seems to be taking the full 8 days again. It has does this to me twice so far, once with a silver buckler, and once with a silver heavy metal shield.

Polished weapons and armor of superior craftsmanship are displayed
prominantly along the walls of this shop. A stone counter stands
in the center of the shop, effectively dividing the area used for
forging the smith's work and that used for displaying it. The heat
of the fire used in the creation of the metalwork makes this shop
slightly too warm for comfort.
A red hot forge has been set up here. (perfect)
A smithy's barrel is filled with dirty water here. (perfect)
An anvil is here. (perfect)
Nalar Orecutter works at his forge here.
You feel you are about 5 days closer to completing a silver buckler!

Armorsmithing craft times
Re: Armorsmithing craft times
Seems to only do it on the first countdown of days after logging off for X amount of time, after logging back in and then back off it appears to count down correctly until completion

Re: Armorsmithing craft times
Yes, that's what I'm seeing as well. (I appreciate the feedback, this one is tricky to test!)
In fact, it looks like in some cases the error (if there is one) is in your favour. Please report other experiences on this bug, if you have them - we need to try to deduce a pattern, because this seems to work as it should with the no-delay testing I can easily do at one sitting. Please note any success or failure echoes you get - my impression, from those, is that a good roll can lead you to make far more rapid progress than expected (per the above) while a bad one can actually set you back (even if it doesn't cost you extra materials and/or coin).
