- Locate a workbench: Interact with any crafting workbench (either outdoors, in Resident Services, or in your home).
- Select the recipe: Browse your learned DIY recipes and select the "Iron Garden Chair."
- Craft: If you have the required 3 iron nuggets in your inventory, you can proceed to craft the chair.
