yep, when i bought it i was able to make only shovels and axes too, but after that each level will unlock you one new item. i think it was a nail after, then screw and the last one was hammer. i am really glad i bought the forge, i have cleared all my land with the shovels i made and got a lot of screws and nails by doing that. i made also a lot of axes, honestly i dont regret at all buying the forge. its really working non stop, but that is only my experience so far
