How do I upgrade my weapons in Bastion?

bastion

I've already started picking up items to upgrade my weapons in Bastion, however I have no idea how to actually upgrade my weapons.

Do I need to reach a certain point in the story to upgrade my weapons, and if so when? Finally, how do I upgrade my weapons?


You need to build a forge in the Bastion. That option becomes available to you after completing the second mission.
