Crafting Metal Sheets (Need Help Here)
I am befuddled.

I am holding a propane torch full of propane. I am holding a propane tank (just to be sure). I am wearing my welding mask. I have 4 small metal sheets in my main inventory. I have read The Metalwork Magazine Vol.4. Several times. Again, just to be sure.

I click on the sheets, on the torch and on the mask. No option to craft a metal sheet. I check the Wiki again. Yes, it's propane, mask, 4 sheets. I drop the sheets and try to weld them together on the floor. I have tried everything, and I can't get the option to craft a damn metal sheet to pop up.

What am I doing wrong here, guys?

If all of those requirements are met you can either right click on the metal sheets to get the option or use the aforementioned crafting menu to craft them.

Are you using mods?

I'm so confused. I feel like I'm missing something or this is an odd bug that's just messing with me. I even tried putting welding rods in my inventory, but that didn't work either!

Well hm. I'm not really sure what the problem is. I'll jump in and check it out when I get a second, but hopefully someone else will be able to help you by then.

I appreciate it, bud. I genuinely don't know how I'm messing this up.

Try to select the inactive crafting recipe in the 'B' menu and look for what is missing. Follow the evidence where it leads.

Figured it out.

Wiki says Metalworking 4 or The Metalwork Magazine Vol.4. It is wrong. You require both. Either this is a recent change or it was always this way and whoever wrote the Wiki entry just got it wrong or didn't care. Either way, kind of a letdown. Why even have the magazine?
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Thank you, Death. The Wiki is wrong about this. As per my last post.

Yeah, I saw that right after I hit post. I think the wiki is probably a bit outdated honestly. It's fine if you're just trying to find the most basic info, but some of the in depth stuff can be a little off. Glad we got you going in the right direction now though. Lol

For anyone having the same problem, make sure the tools are not favorited.
