However reading this (http://forums.gleemax.com/showpost.php?p=11846808&postcount=7) it seems that you can actually take 10 when crafting.

You were probably thinking of the restriction on taking 20, which is that you cannot take 20 if there is a consequence for failure. A handy-dandy SRD link (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/usingSkills.htm#taking10).
