Iron Band - Small is a short iron hoop. It is a binding material shared by carpentry and blacksmithing.
Its best known use is the Make Wooden Bucket recipe, which takes two small bands. Spiked weapons use them too. The Make Spiked Club, Make Spiked Baseball Bat and Make Spiked Cudgel recipes bind their spikes with one to three bands.
Small bands are cut from a full Iron Band, four at a time, or forged from an Iron Bar Quarter. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
