Unless it's been patched, yes you can.
Instead of a Fortify Smithing potion to improve a weapon, if you use the restoration glitch I'd recommend making the fortify restoration potion then use that to create an enchanted object with Fortify Alchemy-Fortify Smithing. The object (Necklace/Ring etc) will be permanent so no more messing around with potions. To experiment I made a ring with Fortify Alchemy/Fortify Smithing 1000+%. I used it to craft some Fortify Carry Weight potions for when I moved everything in my house.
Just using the normal game mechanics will make very powerful weapons if you want to skill up your Alchemy/Enchanting/Smithing, though, so restoration glitch isn't really needed to make decent weapons, just useful to make crazy, fun stuff.
