It's a modified version of the trick from Morrowind and Oblivion, basically you take advantage of a 30-second loop of time (since you're using customized potions). Basically grab your best Fortify Alchemy Gear, a Fortify Restoration potion (you have to make one yourself first), and whole lot of ingredients for Fortify Enchant or Fortify Smithing potions. This all hinges on the fact that Fortify Restoration modifies ALL potion effects by a magnitude.
Basically put on your Fortify Alchemy Gear (5 pieces are good), then make the Fortify Restoration potion (the first one's effect should be really low, something in the 144% rate). Take off all your Fortify Alchemy Gear. Drink the Fortify Restoration potion. Put on your Fortify Alchemy Gear again. Make another Fortify Restoration Potion (this one should be now in the 350%+ range). Take off your Fortify Alchemy gear again. Drink your new potion. Put on the gear again, and, then make a new Fortify Restoration potion.
If you do this carefully (remember you have a 30 second time window per potion use), you'll EVENTUALLY get to a point where you have 540000% effect stuff (potion prices above 2 million or so), you can now make Fortify Smiting potions that help you upgrade your weapons and armor to ABSURD levels.
Or you can just do the cycle three times, make a ton of Fortify Smithing potions (I made 173 or so), and you can get 1k+ damage weapons all the same.
