how I always did it was to keep metal stockpiled. depending on how many people are in the village, I usually have 1 or 2 picks, why? because I usually do the mining, and the stone axes are usually better. and I make the tools as they are needed, need drops off pretty quickly of coarse, and because I crush most of the uppity nubs when they crop up, we don't normally have a lot of needy people. the ones who are too needy will either slip up and do something stupid, giving you an excuse to get rid of them, leave, or quit.
I had one guy in W3 who wanted to be payed 2 bars of metal a week for doing the job of repairing things. he was a good guy, but he wanted a lot of things. prolly would have shaped up to be a good member of the village if I hadn't mistakenly drove him away.

You don't actually have three* MC fighters in your village do you?

On the topic, militia swords before making all necessary instruments, cauldron, meat grinder and WALL was a stupid step. However, can't imagine how low your metal output is, if you have a discovered node and those things were the only you could afford. Do your work and there won't be complaints.

Re: ore distribution
Ah, I didn't want to say anything when this was going on cause I was not there for the whole story.
Making those swords was kinda stupid, I don't believe you guys have any MC or know how to use it if you did.
I agree with the others: Save up for wrought for a brickwall.
But I don't see that happening in the current village set up you have right now.
Also try to share with the farmers: plows and scythes.
Picks for general use is also nice, makes paving less of a pain in the ass.
You also never know when a villager is out exploring and comes across a cave. He may find an ore deposit out of luck.

my village usually has one dude mining ever, and hes filled countless cupboards with wrought iron. its all a matter of how much effort they put in, and how efficient their mining system is.

Re: ore distribution
I'd make a grinder even before picks. Miners need sausages more than anything.
