Minecraft Crafting Recipies: Tools (and their uses)

 I am sure that most people reading this blog are already acquainted with crafting recipies... however those of you who are noobs may find this post helpful.
To craft the first 4 items in this review, you need 2 types of materials; sticks, and the material you want the tool to made of. The materials that can be used are gold, wood, cobblestone, Iron, & Diamond (in order of weakest to strongest). For the first 4 tools in this review I used cobblestone (notice that you arrange materials in the crafting window to resemble the item you are trying to make).
