Can you float a block of steel in water?

Not as long as it's still in the shape of a block. But if you re-shape it into the shape of a cup ... whether round or rectangular ... it will float, because it displaces much more water than a block does. If your cup-shape is done artistically and with care, people may call it what it looks like ... a little "boat" or "ship". Those objects are usually made out of re-shaped blocks of steel.
