Just wanted to make a list for gathering resources and thought I share it.
First things first, the amount of bars the tool heads need stays the same between tiers:

Hoe Head - 5
Axe Head - 8
Shovel Head - 10
Pickaxe Head - 12
Trowel Head - 5

And since the only tools worth making right know are the pickaxe and axe, I'll focus on them.
Next, let's discuss the handle. For Bronze and Iron, you can use every type of wood handle. Since the Demo doesn't drain durability (which I guess will effect it in the release), Oak handles are recommended. For Steel though, the cost of making the tools will skyrocket since Birch handles are required.

That out of the way, here's the crafting tree:

Oak Tool Handle
  • 40 Tin Ore + 40 Copper Ore + 40 Sand > 8 Bronze Bars > 8 Bronze Screws
  • 20 Plant Fiber > 10 Twine
  • 6 Oak Logs > 6 Oak Planks
= 40 Tin Ore + 40 Copper Ore + 40 Sand + 20 Plant Fiber + 6 Oak Logs

Birch Tool Handle (Edit: You can ignore this part)
  • 20 Tin Ore + 20 Copper Ore + 20 Sand > 4 Bronze Bars
  • 4 Bronze Bars + 20 Sand > 40 Bronze Dust
  • 40 Iron Ore + 40 Bronze Dust > 8 Iron Bars > 8 Iron Screws

  • 150 Tin Ore + 150 Copper Ore + 150 Sand > 30 Bronze Bars + 150 Sand > 300 Bronze Dust
  • 25 Iron Ore + 25 Bronze Dust > 5 Iron Bars
  • 25 Bronze Dust + 5 Iron Bars > 50 Iron Dust
  • 50 Iron Bars + 50 Coal + 50 Iron Dust > 10 Steel Bars > 10 Steel Wire

  • 6 Birch Planks > 6 Birch Planks
= 150 Tin Ore + 150 Copper Ore + 300 Sand + 275 Iron Ore + 50 Coal + 6 Birch Logs


If you want to make Bronze Tools from scratch instead of buying them at a shop, you'll need an additional:

  • 40 Tin Ore + 40 Copper Ore + 40 Sand for the Axe, and
  • 60 Tin Ore + 60 Copper Ore + 60 Sand for the Pickaxe
For Iron Tool Heads it's:
  • 20 Tin Ore + 20 Copper Ore + 20 Sand > 4 Bronze Bars + 20 Sand > 40 Bronze Dust
  • 40 Iron Bars + 40 Bronze Dust for the Axe, and

  • 30 Tin Ore + 30 Copper Ore + 30 Sand > 6 Bronze Bars + 30 Sand > 60 Bronze Dust
  • 60 Iron Bars + 60 Bronze Dust for the Pickaxe
And then for Steel:

  • 120 Tin Ore + 120 Copper Ore + 120 Sand > 24 Bronze Bars + 120 Sand > 240 Bronze Dust
  • 20 Iron Ore + 20 Bronze Dust > 4 Iron Bars
  • 20 Bronze Dust + 4 Iron Bars > 40 Iron Dust
  • 40 Iron Bars + 40 Coal + 40 Iron Dust for the Axe, and

  • 180 Tin Ore + 180 Copper Ore + 180 Sand > 36 Bronze Bars + 180 Sand > 360 Bronze Dust
  • 30 Iron Ore + 30 Bronze Dust > 6 Iron Bars
  • 30 Bronze Dust + 6 Iron Bars > 60 Iron Dust
  • 60 Iron Bars + 60 Coal + 60 Iron Dust for the Pickaxe

Or, simply

120 Tin Ore + 120 Copper Ore + 240 Sand + 220 Iron Ore + 40 Coal per Steel Axe Head, and
130 Tin Ore + 130 Copper Ore + 360 Sand + 330 Iron Ore + 60 Coal per Steel Pickaxe Head


Regarding the necessary Skill Levels you'll need for every step, I simply can't remember when I unlocked most of them.
You'll need at least Foraging Lv 28 for Birch trees,
Smithing Lv 30 for Steel Bars
and Crafting Lv 30 for Rafts. Jokes aside, I can't remember this one. Sorry :/

And with all that said, I'll head back into Dark Cave.



Edit: Maybe i was lacking sleep, maybe I was to long in the mines, but I just discovered that Steel Tools...aren't restricted to Birch Handles. Welp.
If I made any other mistakes, please let me know!
