This is possible, butt necessarily slow. The counter example is the trollish smith. This fellow is a sorceror who uses spells to make the metal mallible. The mermen would work out something along this line if they needed to work metals alot, or continuously. If the metalworking is only an occasional requirement/luxury, then waiting for the Waertegi to drop by is probably easier.
