The Aviansies guide helped me get into training there, myself, so that's a good addition. The Blast Furnace guide, however, states that Sacred Clay hammers give an extra 32k exp per hammer, which could be a little misleading. It does give an extra 32k, if you are considering that you would be gaining 32k base exp. Perhaps saying that it "gives 2x the amount of experience for a total of up to roughly 64k exp," would be a better way to put it.
Hmm... I do see your point. Although I think a reference should just be added to the end of the last statement, so players can learn about the mini-game and then make the connection of "Oh, 32k extra experience and since each clay tool doubles the amount of experience gained, that must mean each hammer lasts for about roughlu 64k experience before wearing out". Now, there are two possible ways to go about this, which I will cover (and thanks for bringing this up).

If you are using Sacred Clay Hammers for smithing your bars, you can take two tools with you for one inventory space. This can be done by having a Sacred Clay Hammer and a Proto-Tool and morphing the Proto-Tool into a wieldable item. When your first hammer crumbles to dust from smithing, unequip the wieldable tool and re-morph it into a hammer. This can be done to save some banking time by a good measure and enjoy your smithing for longer periods. Each Sacred Clay Hammer gives close to 32,000 extra experience in Smithing. Sacred Clay Hammers are obtained from the
Stealing Creation minigame.

So after gaining roughly around 64,000 experience in Smithing while using a Sacred Clay Hammer, the hammer will have crumbled to dust.
Anyone else agree on this notion? It is a good point and needs to brought into closer attention. Any other suggestions are well appreciated.
