I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'manually produced pair of taps judged about fine' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'taps judged about fine' is the wordplay.
'taps' becomes 'H and C' (hot and cold).
'judged' becomes 'rated' (rating is a kind of judging).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'rated' placed around 'f' is 'rafted'.
'handc'+'rafted'='HANDCRAFTED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for handcrafted that I've seen before include "Individual" , "Manually made" .)
