Hello to everyone.
I want to ask help with creating custom workshops and isntructions where is to put them.
Most of time I use my vanila manager dwarf to give tasks for workers, but there some inconvenience in that workshops accepts too many materials and my stockpile are too far from each other. so I need some specialized workshops.

The workshops I need
1) craftdwarf workshop splitted to work with bone, wood and stone

Bones I keep in the roof of my citadel, wood in the middle and stone in the deep underground.

2) carpenter workshop for training spears (and how to remove it from vanila workshop?)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I want to build danger room with candelnut wood training weapon (which I read most light http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Wood).
Dont sure that it is same for latest version

3) New stacker workshop for ammo/coins

I want new workshop with new reaction to stack single bolts to bigger stacks 5-25 and may be bigger.

4) New cage cleaner workshop (may be furnace)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I have a lot of wild animal caught in my cages, trained and slaughtered/locked in zoo. But after training and open the cage - most of time cage is contains seed which prevent it from reusage in traps. So workshop which will accepts cages containing food and clearing them will be great.

If you want some workshop (craftsdwarf's) to work with just one material (bone), just use stockpile links. Access stockpile (bone stockpile) with "q" and set it to "g"ive to given workshop. Note that workshop will now accept only materials stored in given linked stockpile(s), so for, say, still you may need to link both stockpile with barrels and stockpile with fruits. SImilarly, stockpiles can be set to "t"ake only from given linked stockpiles or workshops. Note workshops currently don't show their linked stockpiles, only stockpiles do.

See more about taking from and  giving to a stockpile.

To find out how to clean cages, see DF wiki again.

You cant remove the wooden spear from the carpenter, neither can you determine stack sizes like that. These two wont work.

The seeds you can just dump, that is faster than a workshop.

II:
You can just fill worskop with one type of tasks, set them all on repeat and no other jobs (from manager) will be done there.

This is not quite true, you can remove any job you like (or even the entire workshop), but it requires some semi-advanced DFHack scripting...

That the point. To make reaction as automated and avoid any manual control there. if it possible of course.
