I'm not sure what my writing looks like to the outside reader, so I would love to hear some constructive criticism.

L.E. Modesitt in his Recluse series of about a dozen books, has several where iron working by the protagonist in that time frame you spoke of is very detailed. Gives a good feel for it. You probably don't want to put the "magic feel" into your work, but everything else is there and feels very authentic.
Modesitt likes to delve into handcrafts in his books, but not in every book. Ironwork, woodwork, printing, and the like.
The other thing I would mention is "charcoal." Learn about charcoal. It was very important in that field along with the forced ventilation.
