First input by Madt:
Mining
To grind mining people usually ask for an insanely high ql pickaxe with wind of ages spell. This isnt the way to go. You want a relitivly low ql pick with as much Circle of cunning on it as possible, this will give alot of skill if you mine rockshards with it as it highers the difficulty and the mine time, its the mine time that improves the skill gain in mining, longer mine time = more skill.
Anyone feel free to correct this if i've aid something wrong.
Carpentry
To grind carpentry the best way is building houses or grinding sub skills like carpentry, bowyery and fletchery. Don't use WoA on your mallet when you're building, it gives less skill. - by Yamato.
Wood cutting
To grind wood cutting, the best way is to get a good Circle of cunning Hatchet and start cutting down trees in the area you want to use/ build on. Make sure you repair the axe after every 5-20 uses in consideration to your Repairing skill.

Digging/Terraforming
To grind digging skill up, Use a good Circle of cunning shovel and dont keep your eye on the skill trust me it seems like you get your skill up faster, Look for an area you want to flatten or higher or lower. Dig the areas needed and dump the dirt in areas needed. For example
you want a bit of land to be flat and you find out some of it is already flat so you dig the areas arnt flat.
100--------Leave the same
100--------Leave the same
150-------- Dig 50 here
100--------Leave the same
100--------Leave the same
But if there is only a small bit that needs terraforming then expand cut some trees down around the edge and make a 5x5 flat surface into a 10x10. Do this as much as you can and your skill will shoot up.
Remember dont look at the skills untill you have finished at least 5x5 surface
