I'd like to see the restraint you have that works on a 1,000 year old dragon larger than anything else in existence.

Apparently highly flammable wooden cages still work.

The threat of splinters keeps them at bay.

hey wood becomes fireproof if you chat it in a low oxygen enviroment, .... actually i think thje biggest danger of a caged dragon in the fort would be the suffocation hazard from the dragon's random fireballs going down your cramped unventilated corridoors.
DF doesn't model air quality yet though, so i guess they'll be safe.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Wood becomes charcoal if you heat it in a low oxygen environment. Chatting with wood in a low oxygen environment is not productive, and hazardous to your health.

Well yeah charcoal is the term for it, i'm basically just thinking of how very thick timber can survive a fire because the charcoal protects the rest of wood inside from the heat.

But also reinforcement jobs, which sound like they'll occur automatically to keep your animals under control.

hmm... if it takes more meat every time to 'reinforce' a dragon's training..... welp dwarfs, fire up the butchers shop, and grab the kitten cage!

Probably more meat, but not "progressively more".  2 to tame, 1 to keep it tame every season, or whatever.  Or perhaps just a reinforcing job without meat.

The real fun will be when you drop a goblin into a pit with a dragon...

and he tames it.

And then he flies out, riding on the dragons back and burning down your fort.

Dwarves use their beards to influence the adamantite to change form. A dwarves beard is specialized in his job, therefore a legendary miner has a much better mining beard then a legendary weaponsmith, who has a beard that influences metals to make armor much more.
This also explains why dwarves can have a city on just a soap pillar, the beard of the soapmaking dwarf causes the soap to become rigid.
