Putting the crafting table on the ground lets you access the 3×3 crafting grid with which you can make a ton of things like buckets, shields, compasses, and lead.
On the flip side, Iron in Minecraft Java or Bedrock edition can be found between Y= 80 and Y=320. Ideally, you should be searching around levels 230-255. With a stone pickaxe or a better tool, you can break iron ore.
