Knife Doctors

How do you get a spade or knife on Sims castaway DS?
So far i have gathered this info:
~ You need the spade to make the chefs fire. The spade is earned from the gardener.
~ The curry ingredients are earned once you have finished the chefs task of building his fire. With an imaginary spade
~ The spade is earned from the gardener when you give the repellent the doctor made.
YOU NEED THE SPADE TO FIX HIS FIRE FIRST. Its a massive circle!
HELP!!
Ok so you have to have completed the tasks that the doctor set you and be able to trade with her! there should be a wooden stick thing on her trade list click on it and its the handle to the spade get the things she asks for (a fish and some bugs, the bugs are hard because you have to squish all the bugs under a rock then the rare ones crawl around and there the ones you need) ok then you go to the crafting station and one of the question marks is the spade (it should say you need the handle thing you just got from trading) then you make it and tadaa you have the spade
(hope that wasn’t confusing!) The knife you get from completing all the chefs tasks (i think i don’t have it yet!)
