Iron Block is a solid square of iron. It is a mid-sized blacksmithing stock between chunks and ingots.
Its main jobs are piercing and cutting. The Pierce Block recipe turns it into an Iron Block (Pierced) for axe and hammer heads. The Forge Spade Head recipe takes it at Blacksmithing level 6. A saw or bandsaw breaks it into four Iron Chunk.
Blocks are forged from four Iron Chunk or cut from an Iron Ingot, three at a time. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The Pierce Block recipe takes one Iron Block and two Charcoal at a Primitive Forge or better. A hammer or club hammer, tongs and a metalworking punch are needed and kept. The result is an Iron Block (Pierced). The Drill Iron Block recipe does the same with Welding level 2.

The Cut Block into Chunks recipe uses two units of a Welding Torch at Welding level 1. A block also melts into four Iron Chunk at a furnace.

Notes
- Four chunks in and four chunks out, so a block is an easy way to store iron.
- Sawing a block back into chunks needs no forge.
- Steel Block fills the same role in steel recipes.
