Yeah, I just finally got it working, thanks but man, that's kind of annoying. Feel like you should just be able to put them in the radius and they'd just work.

What other items to you have built for your workbench?
Are you positive all of them are close enough to boost the workbench?

You must have all upgrades active (chopping block, tanning rack, adze and later tool shelf) and near enough to the workbench. It does not work so that if you build the next one, you can demolish the previous one ....

Got it, thank you!!

Adze is Fine wood, wood, and I cannot remember the other ingredients. should be under crafting. build that next to the workbench and it will upgrade.

Bronze nails are not used for workbench upgrades, if it's the Adze you are after which is 10 fine wood from Birch trees and 3 bronze bars then you don't get the next upgrade, tool shelf, till you have visited the snowy mountains. There you will find obsidian. You will need frost potions for there until you can craft the armour to withstand the cold.
