The tool opens on the compass: the cross-shaped grid at the top and, under Materials, the count down to raw iron and smelting coal.
One iron ingot in each middle edge slot and the redstone in the center. The four corners stay empty.
The 4 raw iron become the 4 ingots in 4 smelts, which burn 1 coal. The redstone goes in with no processing.
That is 32 raw iron and 8 redstone, none reaching 1 stack. The 32 smelts take 4 coal.
That is 7 maps for 8 emeralds at level 2, 2 maps for 12 and 13 at level 3, and the mansion one for 14 at level 5. Each trade consumes 1 compass.

Place 4 iron ingots in a cross on the crafting table, in the middle edge slots, and 1 redstone dust in the center. The corners stay empty.
It is 32 raw iron, 8 redstone and 4 coal for the 32 smelts.
