I craft almost all my own armor and weapons. I've recently unlocked the ability to craft epic gems. I can include gems in my armor and weapons, but I can't seem to combine the two.
Is there any way to use an epic gem in a weapon or armor piece that I craft? If not, how do I go about using epic gems?

You can disarm traps once you get your Detect Hidden skill to rank 4.
Note that if you get it all the way up to rank 8, not only can you disarm the traps, but you can salvage components from them.

Epic gems are limited to chest slots only. Blacksmithing does not get around this limit.
So, just make sure you're smithing a chest piece, and the gems should show up.
