I'm going to cut the specifics about fixing the ships entirely. I don't know anything about that sort of thing, and it doesn't do well to pretend that I do. Even rubber-acquisition issues aside, you're right, it's just weird.
How 'bout if I change "engineer" to "architect," which is more of what I meant anyway? He's more of a hobbyist in this; reference is made in AMC at one point about how he and Feanaro make corrections to an architecture book that they find lying about in an inn.
The bizarre metaphor I wanted to be bizarre. The fantastic line I found quite ordinary! :)
