Iron Chunk is a small lump of worked iron. It is the basic building block of blacksmithing.
Almost every iron recipe starts from chunks. Four make an Iron Bar or an Iron Block at a forge. One makes an Iron Bar Quarter. One pierced with a punch becomes an Iron Chunk (Pierced) for tool heads.
Chunks come from hammering an Iron Bloom, smelting old iron items, forging scrap and cutting blocks. Forging and smelting both belong to blacksmithing work at a forge or furnace. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The Forge Bar From Chunks recipe takes four Iron Chunk and four Charcoal. The Forge Block From Chunks recipe takes four chunks and two Charcoal. The Forge Bar Quarter from Chunk recipe takes one chunk and one Charcoal. The Forge Bar Half recipe takes two. All of them need a hammer or club hammer and tongs, kept, at a Primitive Forge or better.
The Pierce Chunk recipe adds a metalworking punch and one Charcoal. It gives an Iron Chunk (Pierced). The Drill Iron Chunk recipe does the same with Welding level 1.
The Forge 10 Nails recipe turns one chunk into ten Nails. It needs Blacksmithing level 1, a smithing hammer, pliers or tongs and a heading tool.
The Saw into Pieces recipe cuts one chunk into five Iron Piece with a metal saw or small saw. No station is needed.
How to Get Iron Chunk
Hammering an Iron Bloom at a forge gives twelve chunks. The Extract Iron from Bloom recipe does this with four Charcoal.
Old iron items melt into chunks at a Primitive Furnace or better. Large items give four, medium items two or three, small items one. Five Iron Piece or ten Nails also melt into one chunk.
An Iron Block cuts into four chunks with a metal saw, a Metal Bandsaw or a Welding Torch. The Forge Scrap Into Chunk recipe turns one Iron Scrap into one chunk.

- An Iron Bloom gives enough chunks for three Iron Bars.
- Melting old iron items is the easiest early way to get chunks.
- Steel Chunk works in the same forging recipes.
- Ten Nails per chunk is a good use for spare chunks.
