I'm gonna say that Gutenberg's press is a great one as well. It brought information to the everyday person, freed it from the shackles placed on it by king and religion

I make that 12

I think the lathe and the spinning jenny could be amalgamated into "spinny things that save us time fiddling"
Let's face it, Glass and non- uniform crystalline structures could be "crystalline structures"

And mascara and lipstick?

the lathe is the only machine that can make itself, without it we would have no industrial revolution and no spinning jenny.

as to makeup, It was a joke really, but given the inventions that have made because of it, I guess it sort of deserves its place.
