Not from ores, and not on my own, but if I spent a minute I could remember how to go from ‘chopped dowm this tree with a rock’ to that at least in theory. Would need help from like a good stone guy to build it.
I think the fault in this “in theory I know this” is that there’s a shitload of small issues that pile up when you try to do things in practise that need that accumulated (practical) knowledge to overcome.
Like trying to find food, shelter, clean water, not dying from literally everything. Then there’s not being killed by the local humans whose land you have just invaded - you obviously don’t fit in and likely don’t speak the language
I would definitely need to try some bits a few times. Less with the biology and more organic chemistry, which is the stuff that sometimes fucks up even when you do everything right.
And there are little gaps. Like i could walk you through decent-ish steel but I don’t know fuck-all about copper alloys, and might have to fuck around woth implementation a whole bunch on a few steps. It wouldn’t be personally fast, but it would be civilizationally fast.

With the language barrier i can kinda work on it, Romans talked Latin and i talk Italian, with a bit of time i could learn Latin
