User blog comment:Misterman510/Quick (But expensive) way to level up smithing skill in Skyrim./@comment-6881629-20150917083955

I usually use Halted Stream Camp it has a ridiculous amount of iron or veins and a spell book to turn iron into gold, with the gems you might get during mining you can make jewelry. Then on to Dwarven smithing and scrap collecting. Probably not as quick but cheaper.
