You have to call Saibara the Blacksmith by going over to the phone in your house. But before you do this you have to have obtained ores from the mine. Hope this helps. :)
Take it to the General Store look under the section tools. Go to hmhelper.blogspot.com to get your HMToT questions answered or email him at hmhelper@gmail.com
To increase the strength of your tools you first need to use them. When the tool reaches 100% skill for it's level you can upgrade it. You can learn what the tool's current level is by going into your Farm Summary page and tap your stylus on your portrait. You can find the ores you need in Mine 1.
Well first of all you have to have gotten some ores from the mine, but it also depends on the level of your tool. You can only upgrade a tool when it has reached a certain colour: Bronze, Silver or Gold If it has reached one of these levels than you can upgrade it using either the Bronze, Silver or Gold ore. To do this you have to go to the phone in your house and ring Sabaira the blacksmith and he will then ask you which tool you would like to upgrade. Keep in mind that when you give him your tool to upgrade, it takes several days for it to be completed. Hope this helps. :)
