"Metal Cutter" and Metal Worker Villager

Lots of people have mentioned the issues with crafting copper blocks and how expensive it is, and I come to offer a (fairly) easy solution. I propose that Mojang add some sort of "Metal Cutter" (Functionally identical to the Stonecutter, just for copper instead of stone. I also want a Sawmill but that's not what this post is about.) and a "Metal Worker" villager to go along with it, and their primary purpose is to sell you copper-related items, and, more importantly, copper blocks/ingots. This would make copper easier to gather in large quantities late-game, resolving the issue, and since copper is (almost) exclusively a building block, it barely messes with the balance. (Alternatively: screw consistency and make it a 2x2 crafting recipe rather than 3x3 like other metals.)

    Maybe the lava cauldron could be its workstation?

    Great idea, metal cutter also would be used for new iron/gold/netherite stairs and other

    Don't call it metal cutter just call it metal smelter.
    That way it fits more in the theme.

    I just thought of this same idea a few days ago and didn’t think to come here until today. This should seriously be implemented with this update. I think it should be crafted using iron blocks and a crystal the same way a stone cutter is made. More use for crystals, more sensible copper building blocks, and the possibility for iron and gold slabs stairs and walls for all three!

    I would like to see a metal cutting block for making cut copper, iron, and gold blocks, as well as a sawmill for making wood variants and such. The villagers associated with them should indeed be some sort of metal smith, but they would only sell cut variants that can not be crafted back into ingots, therefore making sure that the player still has to mine for other things. Along with the sawmill would be a lumberjack villager, which there is another thread about, but in any case, they would sell wood, wood variants, and saplings.
