It's not like we can make fancy stuff without them. What I'm saying is that a workbench should need iron in order to craft, like so:
You could smelt ores by right clicking on lava while holding them.
This would make all these other ideas out there that involve using the 2x2 crafting grid much more sensible. How to get iron without pick, you ask? The extended 2x2 crafting grid mod (should be added to game by Notch), that combined with my idea would make Minecraft much harder (and awesome-er.)
Please tell me what you think. And yes, I looked for this, so no flaming. Or trolling, for that matter.
Edit: Guys, I fixed it. Please be a little less sarcastic next time, people make mistakes. I'm sorry, okay?
Wow. Awesome idea! Im kidding. Its a terrible idea, now I need iron in order to make a workbench, oh and you would need to craft it in a 3x3 crafting square. TERRIBlE IDEA!
The three posts above mine point out the loopholes in this idea, if both the 2x2 grid mod and the iron workbench were implemented, it would be impossible to even build the workbench!

Wait, the crafting grid needs a crafting table to craft it? Uuuuh. As for it taking iron to make, no. You can either post this on the extended 2x2 thread, or you can take a second to realise that it makes sense that you'd need a table to create tools and that taking that away from early players would be bad.
TL;DR: Makes sense that you'd need a table to make tools, not so much out of nothing. Doesn't matter what a table is made of, you can still makes stuff on it. Those things on the side are for decoration
That's my 2 cents.

There's a reason the people at mojang made it to where you only need wood for a crafting table, so they wouldn't have to go through all this complicated crap like this. Besides, why would you need to download something else just to play the real game.
