>It's like with igniting fire with sticks or flint&metal - everybody has heard how to do this, nobody can do this.

It's pretty easy to do, so long as you know how to do it properly. Here's a great website for primitive technologies,

"Most" people who do not need to do something to live normally give up after a very short time of trying. Others keep doing and learning and finally get it right; especially if they need to do it to live.

As a tip, you can use a solid piece of wood/tree limb to hammer out smelted metal enough to create a hammer head using an earthen forge with charcoal and makeshift bellows. After you have that one tool created you are off and running with technology so long as you have 3 things, raw supplies, knowledge, and determination.

How's this sound?

You can skip that step and go from a wooden club to forging metal tools. All you need to have is a clay-based furnace and smelter using charcoal. Get yourself a hardwood limb to make a club from, even deadfall will work for this. Find some iron deposites, smelt them, and forge a crude hammer and a spike using a large stone as an anvil.

Then you are off to the races with what you can make from there in on out.

Your link shows you how to make the forges. As for the tools, all you need to start with is an anvil and a hammer. The anvil can be a large sledge hammer head.
