Im not sure if any of you guys know about this certain "exploit" I guess you could say but there is a way to get your smithing up from about 20 to around 100 in a few hours. If you didn't know already all you have to do is buy a bunch of Iron ingots and leather strips from any blacksmith in the game. I recommend going to whiterun and going to the first blacksmith on the right because they have a lot. iron ingots are really cheap too and same with leather straps. Once you have both the ingots and leather strips, go to the forge and go to 'Iron' and craft a shitload of iron daggers. Your smithing will go up really fast as you keep on building them. Its cool cause once you build all of those daggers you can just sell all of them back and get back some of the gold you spend on buying the iron ingots and leather. I recommend you start this with around 1000 gold, which isnt that hard to get. I went up from 20 smithing to around 70 smithing in 1 day basically haha. You also gain exp for it too. Now i can craft glass armor and almost dragon scale armor wooo haha. Sorry about the long post
