Detailed Walkthrough

A Stolen Toolkit

The quest starts when you find the Journal of Wilf Wainwright in a chest beneath the floorboards of an abandoned house along the road west from Whiterun. It tells you how Wilf was put out of business by a bunch of bandits, sent by the Guild of Wainwrights in Cyrodiil, to maintain their monopoly. His tools were all stolen, and scattered across Skyrim. You need to retrieve the tools before you can start making a wagon of your own.

One of the tools in particular, a spokeshave, is one that only a wainwright would use, and you can't find another. Saws, hammers and tongs are more common, but it would be better to have Wilf's set back together.

Find the Tools

This is a list of possible locations for the Tools:

Eastmarch	Falkreath Hold	Haafingar	Hjaalmarch	The Pale	The Rift	Whiterun Hold	Winterhold	Solstheim^DB
Cragslane Cavern Gallows Rock Lost Knife Hideout Stony Creek Cave Uttering Hills Camp Wreck of the Winter War	Bilegulch Mine Cracked Tusk Keep Embershard Knifepoint Ridge	Broken Oar Grotto	Orotheim Robber's Gorge	Frostmere Crypt	Broken Helm Hollow Faldar's Tooth Rift Watchtower Treva's Watch	Halted Stream Camp Redoran's Retreat Swindler's Den Valtheim Keep White River Watch	Fort Fellhammer	Bloodskal Barrow Damphall Mine Hrodulf's House

Acquiring each tool will involve visiting the hideout in question. Track down, and either slay or sneak past its bandit inhabitants to take the tool from the boss chest at the end of the dungeon. As you retrieve each tool, the quest will advance and show the location of the next. Finally, you'll be told to return and repair the forge.

Your Reward

Once you have restored the forge to operation, you will be able to build your own (driveable) wagon.

Notes

The tools and their locations are all determined at the start of the quest. This prevents the same location from being selected for two of the tools, but it also means that you can potentially find them out of sequence. The quest stages should allow for that possibility, and only direct to tools you have not yet found.
Because the locations are not reserved, you could potentially find some other quest's target item in the same chest.
The tools are all marked as quest items. They will not count against your encumbrance, so the nominal weights are those of the clutter equivalents. Making them quest items ensures you will not leave them in a container where they could be stolen again!
Unlike the quest to find Wylandriah's spoon, ingot and soul gem, you're not given all the objectives at once, so you don't get to choose which order to retrieve them. This was done to make sure you explore as much as possible during the quest. Using the carriages to cross the province will help later.

Bugs

Finding them is your job!

Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage FreeformCaravansA stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest FreeformCaravansA.
