Forging and smelting of iron ore

This mod is directly inspired by Alzmuir's "Metal Star" and Sinister Death's "Forged Forge".

I really like both modules, but neither is comprehensive enough for me. My goal is to take the best ideas from both mods and create something I hope you'll enjoy.

I've taken most of the armor, weapons, and odds and ends in the game and allowed you to smelt them into their base components, returning the most valuable metals to you in the form of ingots. Pots and pans can melt into clay to help you build a home, empty wine bottles can melt into glass, and more. I try to make everything as reasonable as possible.

I also made a few items that I feel you should be able to forge or craft on the tanning rack from the start.

-Fur armor (all varieties)

-Longbows and hunting bows

-Armband (to complete the ragged beggar look you’ve always wanted)

-Silver Swords and Greatswords (you cannot make weapons out of any material other than silver)

• Machetes and more!

I also created "pewter ingots" that can be smelted from cutlery and wine cabinets. They can be used to make cheap jewelry, sold or used.

This is my first mod, any suggestions or positive, helpful feedback would be wonderful.

This mod is directly inspired by "Ars Metallica" by Arthmoor and "Smithing Enhanced" by SinisterDeath.

I really enjoyed both mods, but neither was comprehensive enough for me. My goal was to take the best ideas of both mods and create something I hope you will like.

I have taken most of the armor, weapons, and clutter in the game and allowed you to smelt them down into their base components, returning the most valuable metals to you in ingot form. Pots and Jugs can be melted down into clay to help build your Hearthfire home, Empty Wine bottles can be melted into glass, and so on. I have tried to make everything as sensible as possible.

I've also made some items that I felt you should have been able to craft from the start available to be forged or created at the Tanning Rack.

• Fur Armor (all varieties)
• Long & Hunting Bows
• Arm Wrappings (to finish that ragged beggar look you've always wanted)
• Silver Swords and Greatswords (it made no sense that you could craft weapons out of any other material except silver)
• Scimitars and more!

I've also created "Pewter Ingots" whuch can be smelted out of tableware and tankards. They can be used to create cheap jewelry and sold or used.

This is my first mod, and any suggestions or positive, useful feedback would be wonderful.
