RE: Making Iron From Scratch: Processing the ore and building the furnace
Hard to imagine they had to manually make coals back in the day, I imagine that job didn't have good longevity stats. Are you planning to make spears to invade neighboring villages with?
Depending on the Iron yield, I will probably make a few knives and possibly an axe. I have about 300lbs of good quality ore at the moment and will probably end up doing a 100lb ore run to start and see what my yield is. From there, I will determine if I need to do bigger or smaller runs to get workable amounts of iron. Hell, if this furnace works decently I will gather a bunch of ore and make a sword from scratch too!
