====Mallet====
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. Youmight fail at first, but try again and you'll nget your mallet. ===Supplies - Iron===Next, you'll need iron for nails. For this step it really helps to team up with other players or to use supplies and workstations near the starter town. If you are far from the starter town, you'll be fine, it will just take longer. You'll learn some new skills along the way. The first step is finding iron. For this, you need a mine or at least some rock tiles. You can right-click and select ''rummage'' on rock tiles to get [[iron rock]]s or if you want to start making a mine on your new property (or exploring an existing mine), go to the [[mining]] page for greater detail on how to open a mine and prospect for ore. Rummaging is the easiest way to start and should yield enough ore for a few nails and basic items. ====Smelting your iron====Once you have a decent amount of iron rocks (10 or so) or iron ore, you'll need to smelt them. Activate your carving knife and pick up some of those wood scraps you kept. Right-click on the wood scraps and select ''Create > [[Kindling]]''. Once you have a few pieces of kindling, activate your [[steel and flint]]. Right-click on your kindling and select ''Create > [[Campfire]]''. This may take a few tries. Once you've created a campfire, put your iron rocks/ore AND a good handful of woodscrap into the campfire. '''You need to make sure the campfire stays lit, so add those woodscraps occasionally.''' Once the campfire gets hot enough, your iron rocks or ore will turn into 0.8 kg or 1kg [[iron lump]]s. You'll need 4-5 kg of iron to start, so make as much as you can to start. ===Create your tools=======Small anvil====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''. ====Nails====You'll need one [[large nail] per wall of your house, so, 4 if you're building 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. ====Door lock====You'll need one door lock per outside door to make sure your house is secure.
