Iron Band is a long strip of iron bent into a hoop. It is a blacksmithing material whose main job is to be cut into four Iron Band - Small.
Those small bands hold Wooden Buckets together and bind the spikes on spiked clubs, bats and cudgels. The full band also goes into the Make Sawblade Metal Bat recipe.
The band is forged from one Iron Bar at a Primitive Forge or better. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Four recipes split one Iron Band into four Iron Band - Small. The Saw Iron Band recipe needs only a metal saw. The Forge Iron Band Into Quarters recipe uses a hammer, a metalworking chisel, tongs and two Charcoal at a forge. The Cut Up Iron Band With Bandsaw recipe runs on a Metal Bandsaw. The Cut Iron Band recipe uses two units of a Welding Torch and needs Welding level 4.
The Make Sawblade Metal Bat recipe takes a whole band or a Steel Sheet - Small. It also takes a Metal Baseball Bat, a Circular Sawblade Half and two Nuts and Bolts. It needs Welding level 6. The result is a Metal Baseball Bat with Sawblade.
A spare band melts into four Iron Chunk with the Smelt Iron From Large Item recipe.
How to Get Iron Band
The Forge Iron Band recipe makes it. It takes one Iron Bar or Steel Bar and four Charcoal at a Primitive Forge or better. A hammer and tongs or crude tongs are needed and kept. No skill level is needed.

Notes
- The Saw Iron Band recipe needs no fire, only a metal saw.
- One band gives the four small bands that two Wooden Buckets need.
- A Steel Bar works in place of an Iron Bar for forging it.
