Usually my first big project with it is iron spike traps, but it really greatly depends on your own goals and aspirations.

Iron tools.

Iron tools and repair kits. Mostly i do repair kits first because i already own something that needs them.

arrow heads..... and repair kits ;)

Certainly any iron tools you don’t have yet. Remember you can raise your skills to make better tools, but then they’ll require more forged iron. I also usually need at least one strong door for my base to be secure, so I make one or more metal doors.

I generally take a ‘just in time’ approach though. If it’s time to harvest a big grove of trees I planted, I’ll go ahead and make a (better) fire axe (and unlock complementary skills). Otherwise I’ll save my resources and go without.

better pick / axe / shovel, basic wrench and claw hammer are my usual firsts if I haven't looted similar already.

the first things I forge Iron for are a wrench and hammer for making a workbench, another wrench and hammer for building and salvaging.

I usually find more iron tools than I can use or get them for completing quests at the trader so I don't bother with making them.

skipped crafting an axe entirely for my recent run, trader had a steel axe that I snatched up quick, good thing too cause haven't looted an iron axe yet
