build a mason workshop, there is the job order in that, you need a dwarf with the masonry labor active of course

and rock, lots of rock

1 raw rock = 4 stone blocks

When you 'q' over the masons building, then hit 'a' to open up the list of tasks..... to get him to perform blocks is 'o' if i recall correctly, otherwise you can scroll through the options in that list with '+' and '-'

I wish I had something cool to say about this.  Because it's really cool.

It's 'b', second from the top, "Construct rock blocks". Of course, it helps to look at the correct workshop.

Edit: Use the wiki. A lot. There's a huge amount of info available there.

Yeah my bad.  'o' is the backup block shortcut, used by the carpenter and possibly the glass furnace.  You might also want to hit tab a few times when traversing those menus, otherwise a lot of the text disappears and it can be harder to find what you need.
