Try reading instead of just looking.

[Sinon of the Ωmega ferrets]

you need a molten pixaxe to mine cobalt or paladium, then mythril or orichulum, then titanium or the red one which i can't remember

[GaudySquirrel]

You need a molten pick. by melting hellstone ore and obsidian to make bars.
you will need to go to hell for the hellstone and use obsidian pots

you rushed to much and i dont think you can get in hell for now so beter try fishing in ocean to get a reaver shark and then use it to mine hardmode ores thats your only chance

[alfredsss12]

Hell doesn't change in the beginning of hardmode, so he still can mine hellstone as usual.

[kla.viatur]

Get a molten pickaxe from mining hellstone (ore) in hell and combining it with obsidian at a furnace. 3 hellstone + 1 obsidian = 1 hellstone bar
with 20 of those you can make yourself a molten pickaxe and make sure you get at least 1 hellforge (from those obsidian towers in hell)
if you haven't defeated the wall of flesh yet, i'd advise you to get more bars and craft the whole armor and either a sword, the bow or the gun. this will cost you 45 for the armor, 20 for the sword, 15 for the bow and 10 bars + 1 handgun for the gun
if you need other help defeating it look on pages like here: http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Wall_of_Flesh
Be carefull thou cause you will enter hardmode after defeating it automatically!

when you've beaten it you'll obtain the Pwnhammer. use it to destroy the crimson/demon altars in your world but keep in mind you should keep at least 1 for crafting the pre-hardmode boss summoning items. While you destroy them the game will randomly decide which 3 hardmore ores will be generated. There are palladium/cobalt , orichalcum/mythril and titanium/adamantium. You can only get 1 each. Then seek for some palladium or cobalt. When you got a lot of ore you can craft either a drill or a pickaxe out of it. Then go for orichalcum/mythril. This time you will have to go for an anvil before you can craft the tools. At titantium/adamantium you will have to make a new furnace out of the ore and a hellforge.
Go for the full equipment and hunt some mecha bosses (which are pretty hard for newcomers).
Then make some hallowed stuff from their drops and go for the other late game bosses. I dont want to spoil too much for you so im gonna end here and leave you a few links where you can read everything you want:

and you think someone that had this fail made a hellevator?

If you already have a Nightmare Pickaxe:
Mine Hellstone from the Underworld and get obsidian in order to craft Hellstone Bars. You can get obsidian by having a water source touch lava. Then you shall mine it. One hellstone bar is the equvalent of 3 hellstone ore and one obsidian. That means that if you want to craft the molten armour (which will be usefull early hardmode) and the Molten pickaxe you will need about 140 hellstone ore and 70 obsidian. Keep in mind that Hellstone can be smelted only in a hellforge which is found in the underworld and cannot be crafted. (Also you might want to use an obsidian skin potion, you can just go in lava with one and mine hellstone all you want and then telleport back to your home.)

This is an easier method that may require some patience:
You can get the Reaver Shark which is a pickaxe that has 100% pickaxe power (just like the molten pickaxe) but its faster and can mine hardmode ores aswell! The reaver shark can be obtained thru fishing in the ocean biome ( Keep in mind - the ocean biome) and has a 1/100 chance if you have 50% fishing power.
There are 2 ways to have 50% or more fishing power prehardmode:
Get the sitting duck's rod which is sold by the travelling merchant for about 35 gold and has 40% fishing power, or get the Demonite or Crimson rods which have 20 fishing power (crimson has 22 for some reason) and are crafted with their respective bars.
If you got the sitting ducks rod , buy a bug net from the merchant and run around , breaking grass. Grasshoppers should appear. Collect them and they will have 10% fishing power this means 40+10 = 50% fishing power. If you have demonite or crimson rods obtain worms by breaking stones on the surface , catch them with a bug net and craft a nightcrawler using a worm and a fallen star. The night crawler has 35% fishing power so 20+35= 55% fishing power. in all situations you will have about a 1/100 chance of getting the reaver shark. In my Summoner playthru it took me about 15 minutes to get it

Hope I helped.
