I've started work on a similar project recently, along the exact same lines as you. To cave out the area, I mined out 10 z-levels of stone, channeled out the rims, then caved in the whole thing. My computer spent all night calculating it... woke up in the morning to hit space and then wait an hour as the dust cleared.

Using the stocks screen, you can dump all of a certain stone type, but I ended up just leaving it sitting at the bottom layer, and built a layer above it. I made lots of skywalks and things of that nature, giving it a cool effect.

Ah...the inn of drowning. Loud whispers, get IN here!
After all, I was reincarnated twice under his rule.

You should sign up, we've had no new players for about 3 week now.  Last I checked the inn is both doing great and beset by a murderous dining room waterfall.

To use stone, I make mechanisms, mugs, and megaprojects. Focus on the first two, make tons of traps, use the mugs to buy all the gem-studded platinum mini-forges your heart desires, etc. Also, I advise getting the Display Case mod so you can show off all of those gem-studded platinum mini-forges.

I like doing things like this.  Using natural stalagmites for housing is very convenient--you can have a long of fun engraving. 
For some interesting design ideas check out the Inn of Drowning on the community game forums--it is primarily in the first cavern with some...constructions...near the surface.  It's also in my sig.

Ah, yes...good times, bad ideas. I'm glad you didn't vacate after the giant-animal-related deaths.
