Next, you need a mallet. Activate your newbie carving knife and right-click on a log in your inventory. Select '''Create > Construction material > Shaft''. You'll need two [[shaft]]s. Click on one of them and select ''Create > Tool parts > Mallet head. Activate that mallet head (double-click!), right -click on the other shaft, and select ''Create > Tools > Mallet. You might fail at first, but try again and you'll get your mallet.

A [[small anvil]] is an important tool for smithing in Wurm. While still glowing hot, activate one iron lump and right - click on another iron lump in your inventory (not in the campfire). Select ''Combine''. You may need to combine several lumps, until you get a lump larger than 2kg (You can combine up to 64kg of iron!). Activate your mallet, right - click your iron lump and select ''Create > Tools > Small anvil''.

You'll need one [[large nail]] per wall of your house, so, 4 for a 1x1 house. Activate your iron lump, right - click your small anvil and select ''Create > Construction materials > Large nails''. Repeat this for each large nail you need. If you will be adding a wooden roof or wooden floor to your 1 x 1 house, you'll need 3 [[small nail]]s in total. The process is the same, though you select ''Create > Construction materials > Small nails''. You only need to add a roof, but a floor can be nice to have.

You'll need one door lock per outside door to make sure your house is secure. You can read up on locks and permissions in the [[permissions|Permissions#Doors]] article. Stealing is illegal on PVE servers, but you'll want your house to stay safe from invading humanoid mobs and nosy neighbors anyway. Activate your iron lump and right - click your small anvil. Select ''Create > Locks > Door lock. These are fairly hard to create at low skill and may take several tries. Don't ignore this step though, as locks are very important.

Now, the fun part - building. Activate your mallet. Make sure you have large nails and at least 20 planks in your inventory. Right-click the wall section that you want to have as your door and select ''Add to [[Crafting Windowwindow]]''. You will see the options available to you and you'll want to select either a [[wooden door]], [[wooden canopy]], or [[wooden double door]]. You can repeatedly press ''Create'' on the crafting window to finish building this door. Once it's done, activate your door lock and right-click to attach it to your door.

For the other 3 walls of your 1x1 house, follow the same process, though you'll want to select [[wooden wallswall]] s, [[wooden window]]s, or windows [[wooden wide window]]s from the crafting window. Don't make any of these walls into an arch, as that won't be secure.
