[Repulsion]

  So here's what I have: I got a magma pipe, bottomless pit, and chasm in close vicinity to each other, along with a not discovered yet underground river and I think an underground pool. I also have sand and a river. So, what crazy/stupid/etc. thing should I try to do with these resources?

  And if you haven't guessed yet, I am playing 40d.

Sand + Magma = unlimited building material.  Make a glass-based megaproject.  Glass pyramid.  Glass dwarf pyramid (goes down into the ground instead of up).  Make an aboveground fortress entirely out of glass.  GO CRAZY!

[VoidPointer]

Make a cave-in gun to drop infinite quantities of obsidian into the bottomless pit.

For science?

[Gnauga]

Build an enormous telescope with a curved glass lens and a body made of obsidian. Bonus points for a reflecting telescope with a mirror made out of steel.

Make the chasm the entrance to your fort.  Turn it into a deathtrap-maze with clear glass everything.   Carve a spiral descending staircase into its sides, and build an unholy temple at the bottom of obsidian, a la The People of the Pit.  http://www.horrormasters.com/Text/a1833.pdf  Chain sapients along the downward path.  Bonus points if you can somehow trap clowns in the temple.
