Tool forge

[smiths94]

I just started using this mod and I am having trouble with the tool forge. I was able to use the tool station just fine, and am able to use the tool station to craft tier 1 tools but not tier 2. I have made the gold casts of the right pieces(hammer: 2 plates 1 hammer head 1 rod) and made iron versions from the casts but when i go to put them into the forge it is not working....

 What is happening and how do I fix it???

You sure you have the right rod, for instance?  Sometimes one wrong piece can muck up the recipe.

have you made a tool rod or a tough tool rod?

Make sure you follow the template on the tool forge, as not following the exact shape the tool forge specifies will make it fail. Also, keep in mind that the handle for a hammer is a tough tool rod, and the binding is a tough binding, the normal tool rod and binding will not work.
