I find that making tin stock might be easier than iron stock to start training metallurgy. While tin is a bit further from a forge than iron, it is way easier to mine. I get one tin out of 2 digs, but I get about one iron out of 5 digs (with a mining skill of 4). I don't know up to which level I can get practise making tin stock, but I personally prefer it.
One more thing: at level 0, the "working with stock" book does not tell you which stock you can make. A small bug, but it says I could only melt steel and bronze ingots, cast them back into ingots and melt tin. I never mentioned I could make iron stocks. Since I did not know that and none of the things mentioned in the book sais "with skill", I thought I would get practise melting steel ingots and casting them back into ingots. I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to get practise points. As soon as I got level 1, it said I could make iron, tin and copper stock (zinc a few levels later).
