I ran into a similar problem, for the longest time I couldn't find a pickax for mining. FYI any axe can be used to break down a log into branches. Do you know where the other forge is?
Other forge? Are you asking me because you know and you want to tell me if I don't know to be helpful, or are you asking because you know there is another one somewhere and you want to know?
There is only 1 forge I have found and know about which is in the first town and I have not been anywhere else.
