If you are still around the Newtown area, there should be plenty of caves opened already. You just need to find an unlocked one with an iron vein inside...
...or you could do it the hard way, using your pickaxe to prospect for veins on rock and cliff tiles. (If you can't figure out how to do this, you should probably read the clay section again.)<br> Once you've found some a good spot, start mining with your pickaxe. It will take some time to create a cave entrance, be patient. You probably won't hit a vein on your first try, so continue mining. I do suggest though that you look for an already opened cave.
After you've found a vein, use your pickaxe to mine some iron ore. You are gonna need some quite a bit of it, so go for 100 kilos (about 4 or 5 units) of it. For each 20 kilo ore you mine you will get 1 kilo of iron when you've smelted the ore.

You've come this far, good. It's time to make yourself some tools.<br>
Take the ore you gathered earlier and put it in a fire, preferably a lit forge. Once the ore gets glowing hot it will eventually turn into pure iron lumps which can be used in smithing.
While the metals are heating up, acquire the items you need;* '''A Wooden make a wooden mallet''', made from using a shaft and a mallet head, which is also carved from another shaft.* '''A pottery jar with atleast 1.0 liters of water.''' Remember that jar I mentioned earlier in Once the clay quest? Here's what you need it for. Activate metal has heated up, take the jar glowing hot iron lumps and choose fill combine them into a single large lump, then use the mallet on the dropdown from lump to create a tile with water or a water item inside a containersmall anvil. You can then use the small anvil on iron lumps to create various tools and items. '''[ [[Blacksmithing]] | [[Forge]] | [[Mallet]] | [[Iron lump]] | [[Small Anvil]] ]'''
