Equipment is always a fundamental component of any game; this is especially true in Skyrim where you will continually face strong waves of enemies that will defeat you if you are not properly equipped.
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Requirements

Step 1. Find or purchase 2 pieces of equipment with the Fortify Smithing skill
It is one of the most important things to do in order to create powerful gear.

Step 2. Get all the ingredients
To create armor you need ingredients, which differ depending on the type of armor. Gather the ingredients needed for the specific armor you have chosen.

Step 3. Get to have a high level of Blacksmithing and Enchanting
You will only be able to craft items with Blacksmithing, but with a high Enchantment level, you can upgrade them even further.

Step 4. Get some spare equipment
You will need rings, gloves, armor and necklaces.

Step 5. Get some large soul gems
You can use any type of soul gems, but the large ones are the best.

Step 6. Find some Enchanter's and Blacksmith's Elixirs
You can find them in alchemy shops.
Part 2 of 2: Creating Your New Equipment

Step 1. Use any enchanting table
Disenchant one of your items with Fortify Smithing, and equip the other.
You will need to disenchant an item to learn that enchantment; that's why you need two

Step 2. Enchant a breastplate, gauntlets, necklace and ring with Fortify Smithing
You can use a Spellcaster's Elixir when you do. At Enchantment level 100, and with an Enchanter's Elixir, you can improve your Smithing skill by 28%.

Step 3. Head to a blacksmith's forge
Put on the armor you just enchanted, drink the Blacksmith's Elixir, and craft all weapons and armor.
The Blacksmith's Elixir only lasts 30 seconds, and time runs while crafting, so be careful

Step 4. Upgrade your weapons to Legendary level
Use the Grinder and drink another Blacksmith Elixir, then upgrade your weapons to Legendary level. The damage of your weapons will increase by 50% or more.

Step 5. Upgrade your weapons to Legendary level
Use the Workbench if you think you still have time before the Blacksmith's Elixir runs out. Get your armor to Legendary right away, or else grab another potion.
As with weapons, your armor defense will greatly increase to legendary level

Step 6. Put on your new armor
You will likely be able to take out almost all of the enemies in one shot. Of course, the game can get boring, but you will be able to get through the most challenging missions much easier. Have fun!
