PC- Can't craft any iron tools or weapons

So I have all the necessary requirements for crafting iron tools and the required materials (iron bars, brick, blacksmith table, etc) But for the love of Og, when I go to the blacksmith bench to make an iron pick or sword, even if I have required materials in my inventory, the craft buttons are greyed out. What gives, guys? This game is great, so thank you. But obviously I am stonewalled here…bad…please help!

I may have missed something here. You stated you had the material in your inventory. But, to make the iron item you have to put the material in the blacksmith station.

Fygmint is correct. The items have to be put in the bench inventory in order to craft an item with that bench.
