This is a step by step guide to a crafting macro:
1. Open up your datapad and check what number your schematic is. Count from left to right, from up to down and skip all the items that your crafting tool can't make.
2. Copy this text into your chatbox, but change the --- to the number of your schematic (example, /selectDraftSchematic 10
/alias craft1 /ui action toolbarSlot01;/selectDraftSchematic ---;/pause 5;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/createPrototype;/createPrototype
/alias craft2 /ui action toolbarSlot02;/selectDraftSchematic ---;/pause 5;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/createPrototype;/createPrototype
/alias craft3 /ui action toolbarSlot03;/selectDraftSchematic ---;/pause 5;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/createPrototype;/createPrototype
/alias craft4 /ui action toolbarSlot04;/selectDraftSchematic ---;/pause 5;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/createPrototype;/createPrototype
/alias craft5 /ui action toolbarSlot05;/selectDraftSchematic ---;/pause 5;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/createPrototype;/createPrototype
/alias craft6 /ui action toolbarSlot06;/selectDraftSchematic ---;/pause 5;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/createPrototype;/createPrototype
3. Make a macro called Craft with this text:
/craft1;
/pause 8;
/craft2;
/pause 8;
/craft3;
/pause 8;
/craft4;
/pause 8;
/craft5;
/pause 8;
/craft6;
/pause 8;
/macro crafttest
4. Place the macro on the F1 toolbar hotkey (you can change toolbar with ctrl + F11 and ctrl + F12)
5. Create/buy 6 of the desired crafting tools (I prefer weapon, droid and general crafting tools) and place them in the F2 - F7 toolbar hotkeys.
6. Use F1 to start the macro.

Options -> Controls -> Keymap -> Chat
There you can find cut, copy and paste. Bind a button or a combination of buttons to them and feel the pleasure of in-game copying

Is there a way to practice this macro, with using resources or creating the item, just to destroy it later?

Blastcypher: where it sais '/createPrototype', change it to '/createPrototype Practice NoItem'
Chimpychapp: If you open up your abilities and commands window (ctrl + a is the hotkey on the standard SWG keymap I believe) there is a tab called 'Macro'. Click on that tab and select 'New Macro' in the bottom of the window. You then get up another window called 'Edit Macro' There are three things you have to do here:
1. Fill in a name in the name field, use crafttest in this example. You can use any other name you please, but the nyou have to change the '/macro crafttest' in the end of the macro to '/macro YourNameOnTheMacro'
2. Choose a macro. Doesn't really matter what you choose, pick something that reminds you of crafting.
3. Enter the commands that the macro performs when you run it. Here you enter the commands. When you are done it should look something like the picture on this URL: http://malle.dajoob.com/swg/images/swgmacro.jpg
Now, if you want a detail description of what the macro does, here is the deal:
First line gives the command /craft1
We've before set the alias as I gave in my first post, so when executing /craft1, it executes the alias /craft1 which should be
/ui action toolbarSlot01;/selectDraftSchematic ---;/pause 5;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/nextCraftingStage;/createPrototype;/createPrototype
The commands here does:
/ui action toolbarSlot01 - It uses the second slot in the toolbar, the F2 slot (it starts counting at 00 for F1)
/selectDraftSchematic ----This basically is like clicking on that specified schematic in the list. Say that you can make combat knifes and those are fourth in your datapad using this command with 3 (it starts on 0) would be like choosing to make a combat knife in the list you get up when using a crafting tool.
/pause - Self explanatory I believe
it pauses the row of commands for X number of seconds, meaning that it takes 5 seconds in this example before the next command is executed. This is the time you have to put in the resources needed in this macro.
/nextCraftingStage -Kinda self explanatory too, it takes you to the next crafting stage 
/createPrototype- Rather self explanatory also, it creates the prototype of the item you are crafting. You can change this to:
/createPrototype Practice NoItem - It finishes the crafting, but in practice mode which give you 5% bonus XP and doesn't create an item in your inventory.
Now, if you look at the macro text, there is a /pause8 after the /craft one, this means that the next command wont be executed until 8 seconds after the previous command is. After 8 seconds from running the previous command it will ruin the next crafting command and you can craft again.
So basically the macro runs like this;
You hit the hotkey, it loads for a little while, you enter the resources. 5 seconds after you've hit the hotkey the crafting station tries to build (or practice) your item. If you don't have the resources in by then you might get a error.
Meanwhile that is done the macro runs besides it waiting until 8 seconds after you've hit the hotkey, or in other words, 3 seconds after the crafting is done, to open up a new crafting window. Then it does the commands over and over again, since when the macro has run through all it's commands, it calls itself to run again.
Don't forget the command /dump to stop all macros
Hope I managed to make you understand a little better

I gave this yopic a 1 star I am not a 1 tar ninja, and here is my reson for giving it.
I do not condone grinding cause I fell it ruins the profession.
I can honestly said that I used or sold everything that I crafted to get to Master Artisan.
I didn't grind one bit It might have taken longer but atleast I wasn't adding to the clutter of cdefs and other crap that flooded the bazzar before they added the practice button.
If you find artisan so boring that you need a crafting macro I suggest you find another profession.
