Smithing and smelting to unlock parts at random is not that fun or rewarding. Maybe a better system would be the way you level up your character. So whenever you level up Smithing by either smelting or forging a weapon, you are given a smithing focus point that you can use to unlock a part of your choosing. Or you could save up your points to purchase a more expensive part of a sword you want to build.
I love the idea of making my own personal weapon but the random progression and unlock system just dose not seem worth it to me at the moment.
