Tools Recipes cover forging hand tools, tool heads and small hardware at a forge. Nails, tongs, punches, chisels, files, saws, hammer heads, axe heads, garden tool heads, scissors, buckets, hinges and lanterns all come from this menu.
The craft trains Blacksmithing. It gives a long-term survivor a way to make every tool that wears out or breaks. It also builds the smith's own kit. Tongs, the heading tool, the metalworking punch, chisels and the smithing hammer head are the tools that other forge recipes ask for. Many results are bare heads, so the work finishes in Assembly with a handle. The menu sits after smelting and casting, using bar stock and pierced chunks and blocks from the furnace and the metal saw.
Skills
Level 1 is the starting point. Forge Large Hook, the nail recipes, Forge Tongs, Forge Heading Tool, Forge Draw Plate, Forge Metalworking Punch and Forge Smithing Hammer Head all need Blacksmithing level 1. Forge Masonry Trowel follows at level 2.
Levels 3 and 4 hold the core of the menu. Level 3 adds the bucket, fishing hooks, corkscrew, fleshing tool and mason's chisel. Level 4 adds hammer heads, chisels, the file, the saw, scissors, shears, tweezers, forceps and garden tool heads.
Higher levels bring heavier tools. Level 5 adds the drill, the wrench, the lantern, jar lids, hinges and the scythe head. Level 6 adds the axe head, the spade head, the needle and small files. The pick axe head needs level 7. The sledgehammer, wood axe and garden fork heads need level 8. The crowbar, doorknob and straight razor need level 9.
Experience rises with the level of each recipe. The crowbar and doorknob give the most.
The recipes by the skill level they ask for.

Learning
Forge Large Hook is known from the start. Every other tool recipe must be learned first.
Each one also unlocks by itself once Blacksmithing is high enough. Forge 4 Fishing Hooks also asks for Fishing level 1, and Forge Needle also asks for Tailoring level 5.
The Blacksmith occupation and the Blacksmith Knowledge trait start with most of the menu known.
Many magazines teach parts of it. Everyday Smithing - June 1993 covers the smith's tools, nails, chisels, the file, the saw, the drill and the wrench. Everyday Smithing - April 1993 covers garden tools and sheep shears. Everyday Smithing - May 1993 teaches the bucket and corkscrew. Small-Scale Smithing covers small items such as fishing hooks, scissors, tweezers, forceps, hinges, needles, doorknobs and the straight razor. Blunt Forge covers hammer heads, the pick axe head, the sledgehammer head and the crowbar. American Bladecraft teaches the axe and hatchet heads and the fleshing tool.
These magazines, books, traits and occupations teach recipes from this category that have to be learned.

Materials
Charcoal fuels every recipe, and the heavy heads burn the most.
The metal comes in many shapes. Quarter bars make small tools, and half bars make chisels, files and saws. Pierced chunks, pierced blocks and pierced ingots become hammer, axe and pick heads. Wire makes nails, fishing hooks and needles. Steel sheets make the bucket, jar lids and lanterns.
Tools are kept after every forging. A hammer, smithing hammer or ball-peen hammer shapes the metal. Tongs or pliers hold it. Many recipes add a punch, a chisel, a file or the heading tool. A few need a Small Handle or Medium Handle, which is used up.
The materials these recipes use up most often.

Every tool recipe is made at a forge. Many basic tools, nails and garden heads work at a Primitive Forge or better. Chisels, files, saws and many heads need a Simple Forge or better. The finest work needs the Advanced Forge, including tweezers, forceps, hinges, the wrench, the lantern, the crowbar, the straight razor and the pick axe and sledgehammer heads.

Recipes
Start with the smith's own tools. Forge Tongs, Forge Heading Tool and Forge Metalworking Punch make the kit that later recipes need. Forge Smithing Hammer Head gives a proper smithing hammer once it is assembled. Forge 10 Nails, Forge Nails From Piece and Forge Nails From Wire keep a builder supplied.
Mid-game tools replace worn scavenged ones. Forge Saw, Forge File, Forge Carpentry Chisel, Forge Metalworking Chisel and Forge Scissors cover workshop needs. Forge Gardening Trowel, Forge Gardening Hoe Head and Forge Sheep Shears serve the farm. Forge Bucket makes a metal Bucket, and Forge Jar Lids makes lids for jars.
At the top, Forge Axe Head, Forge Wood Axe Head, Forge Pick Axe Head and Forge Sledgehammer Head make heavy tool heads. Forge Crowbar makes a complete Crowbar. Forge Lantern makes a Hurricane Lantern from small sheets, wire and Lantern Glass.
Every recipe in the Tools menu is listed with what it makes, what it uses up, the tools it hands back, the skill it asks for and where it is made. A "Yes" under Learned means the recipe has to be learned first. Each tab holds one kind of thing made.

Notes
- Make the Heading Tool early, since every nail recipe and the tongs need it.
- Forge Large Hook is the one tool recipe known from the start.
- Forge Lantern needs Lantern Glass from the Glassmaking menu.
- Forge Wrench also needs Calipers, which are kept after the job.
