Note that the "collect {{L|sand}}" order at the glass furnace requires the "{{L|hauling#Item_hauling|item hauling}}" labor, not glassmaking. The "collect sand" order does however still block the glass furnance stopping glassmakers from working in it until it has been completed. So it is recommendable to create some glass furnances for the sole purpose of {{K|R}}epeating the collect sand order while others are used for actual glassmaking. Keep in mind that ordering glass goods through the {{L|manager}} will schedule jobs in your sand collection glass furnances, so you should avoid it when possible.

Glassmaking vs. masonry[edit]

There is considerable overlap between items produced from stone at a Mason's workshop, and items produced from glass at glass furnaces. Masonry is easier to get running and will clear excess stone from your fortress. Glass produces items with a higher base value (unless you make your masons use flux or obsidian), and using a magma glass furnace allows you to make green glass objects without consuming anything but dwarven labor.
