I think the Martial Practices were a poorly conceived concept, so it shouldn't be surprising that they don't play with the game well, even in a RAW basis.

But as I said, the issue is that RAW or not, a 50g ritual shouldn't replace an entire feat (Alchemist) in my opinion, and I think the description of what they expect you to use the feat for (mundane equipment, of which alchemist items are not) backs that interpretation up. Your DM may disagree, but that's his/her choice, not mine.

When we're talking about the construction of vehicles, as per the Master Artisan description it's up to the DM to determine how long something takes to "create". Hence, the determination about whether your character can conceivable build say, a Chariot, rests largely on whether your DM believes you having the capacity and time to create one; it is not a RAW issue.
