as someone who has tried to make a furnace to melt metals, I envy iron age people who could do it successfully (unlike me) with no fancy tools or materials

You should try having nothing else better to distract you for 12-15 years. With no books, no TV, and no internet, if you need to figure out how to build a forge, you'd figure it out eventually. Through sheer boredom if nothing else.
