Download "The Armourer and His Craft" and read in particular page 25 and thereabouts about the tools of the armour smith.  Some of the tools are mentioned, but I figured there are likely some that haven't been mentioned and this contains references to primary sources from the appropriate time period.

I read down to the hand drilling suggestion, and I'm already with you there...
although because I myself love human powered tools...
although weavers already have teeth... therefore they don't need scissors.
I'd assume that the dwarves had some primitive stone hammer in their forges allowing them to construct without a hammer.

Wow, that book is a really good resource for thinking about DF metalworking. I've not found any clear indications of new tools that are required for armoring, but some of the other stuff (like the budgets for smithies) are new information (to me at least).  Thanks for sharing it!

Here are two more!

For a person to process flax, or wool, or cotton into thread: a drop spindle

And for making cord: a lucet
