Skill uses! What do you use your skills for that's thinking outside the box?

I've recently been trying out a new Character concept for me.

A Blacksmith Fighter that specializes in Sundering, Perception, and Linguistics (for Runes)

His dream is to one day make a Legendary Weapon.

Getting onto my point, What I've thought of is to ask my GMs if, after spending an amount of time examining an opponent's weapon/armor, (anywhere from the quick and easy fighting them a certain amount of time to the hard and dirty, Burn a round doing nothing but studying the weapon/armor) He makes a Craft: Weapon/Armor roll, and if he does well he goes "Oh hey, I know exactly how to break that." and gets a skill appropriate bonus to his next Sunder roll.

What things do you use skills for that aren't necessarily in the book as such?

My blacksmith/clockwork creator Cleric of Brigh, used his tools to remove doors (undoing hinges and such) when we lacked a device disabler.

It got to the point that all the doors were opening in the wrong direction for me do that.
