The Draw Plate is a small metalworking plate made of iron. In crafting it serves as a small piece of iron for the furnace.
Its value lies in smelting. Smelt Iron From Small Item turns it into an Iron Chunk, and Smelt Steel From Small Iron Item turns it into a Steel Chunk. That makes it a steady feed for Blacksmithing.
Draw plates are found in jewellery stores, wire factories and welding workshops. They can also be drilled from a Steel Bar Quarter or forged. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Smelting is the main use. Smelt Iron From Small Item melts the plate into one Iron Chunk at a Primitive or better Furnace. Smelt Steel From Small Iron Item gives a Steel Chunk instead, but needs an Advanced Furnace. Smelt Small Iron Item pours the iron into a Ceramic Crucible at a Simple or better Furnace. None of these needs a skill.
The plate is light to carry. A haul from a wire factory or a jewellery store can fill a furnace run on its own.
How to Get Draw Plate
Two recipes make it. Drill Draw Plate turns one Steel Bar Quarter into a Draw Plate at Welding level 3. Forge Draw Plate makes one at a Primitive or better Forge with two charcoal and a quarter bar of metal stock. It needs a hammer, tongs or pliers, and a punch, all kept. Forging needs only Blacksmithing level 1. Both recipes must be learned first.

Locations
Draw plates are common in a few trades. Golf factory metal shelves hold them in more than a third of cases. Jewellery store counters and storage desks are almost as good. Wire factory shelves and tool cabinets follow at a little over one in four. Welding workshops, sheds, studios and warehouses hold them about one time in ten. Garages and tool stores turn them up less often.
