The mechanic's workshop is a workshop which produces mechanisms out of stone*. It is also used to construct traction benches.

(* For mechanisms out of metal, a mechanic must use a metalsmith's forge or magma forge.)

Mechanic's Workshop

Make Mechanisms for simple traps, levers, pressure plates, and to link such triggers to doors, bridges, floodgates, cages, more complex traps, etc., etc., etc.
Make Traction benches to equip hospital zones.

Traction benches require:
- a Rope (produced in Clothier's shop), or a Chain (produced in Metalsmith's forge)
- a Table
- a Mechanism
For non-dwarf fortresses, the name of this workshop will change to match if your fortress's primary race provides a custom value for the [PROFESSION_NAME:MECHANIC] token.
