Tools

• Hammer
• Pliers
• Bucket with oil
• Saw

Materials

Depending on the toolsmith's preferences, they either get supplied by the local carpenter and blacksmith with ready-made tool parts or craft the pieces themselves. If they craft the tool parts themselves, they need hardwood for the handles and several types of metal to forge the tool heads.

Workplace

A toolsmiths workshop is divided into two sections: storage and crafting area.
The storage area contains wood, metal, and tool part storage in the form of crates for tool parts, shelves for woodblocks, and pallets for metal. Additionally, it has a section where ongoing and finished projects are stored until they are either collected or shipped to the customer. The crafting area contains tool storage for easy access, a workbench for tool assembly, a forge, and an anvil.
