40d:Craftsdwarf's workshop
A Craftsdwarf's workshop is a workshop for any dwarves who can make stone, bone or shell crafts. It can also be used to make a few things that aren't strictly crafts, such as shell armor and bone crossbow bolts.
Craftsworking includes several different skills:
Dwarves with these skills will do their work at a craftdwarf's workshop, and can craft a multitude of things, including toys, flatware, and totems. Bolts for crossbows are also made at a Craftdwarf's workshop; bone bolts can be made for next to nothing and when the dwarf reaches the top experience levels, bone bolts approach damage levels like that of metal ones[Verify]. Also, dwarves will not use metal bolts to practice, instead preferring bone and wooden bolts.
Most, if not all, general crafts are only good as trade items. It is a good idea to include a Craftsdwarf with both Bone Carving and Stone Crafting in your beginning party, so you can start producing ammunition and getting rid of those massive piles of rocks. A few barrels of well-made trade goods are usually sufficient to buy any vital supplies from the first caravan to arrive at your fortress.
