With 8.0.1 and no Blacksmithing whatsoever:
Buy Rough Stone (120 just to be sure, its cheap). Make Rough Sharpening Stone until you get to learn Rough Grinding Stone, once you reach 60 points you can go to Tormus Deepforge and get the two quest hes offering: Gearing Redridge and Supplying the Front.For Supplying the Front make:
Copper CHAIN Belt (On the profession window)
Copper AxeFor Gearing Redridge make:
Runed Copper Belt
Heavy Copper Maul
(You will need 70 skillpoints to be able to buy the plans for these two.)Items for both:
160x Copper Bar
14x Weak Flux
12x Linen Cloth
8x Light LeatherTo deliver the quests, via Taxi go to Lakeshire on Redridge and Thesalmar on Loch Modan.
Enjoy your plans, or sell them on the AH.
To learn on a Horde character, you need a friend to buy it from you on the AH.
This isn't correct. You simply need to have blacksmithing level of 60.

Description
We dwarves aren't the only ones fighting. Our human allies have their hands full too! Redridge is under periodic attack from blackrock orcs, and their supply of equipment is always low. If you were to help them out, I'm sure their resident blacksmith, Verner Osgood, would teach you a trick or two.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
