If humans can carve wooden chains, Dwarves oughta. Also... mechanisms?

[CrzyMonkeyNinja]

That is pretty darn cool. I'm not sure it's entirely dwarfy, though. I suppose it wouldn't seem too out of place seeing that they make spiked wooden balls and stuff like that.

I think it's beneath dwarfs.  The only thing I think a dwarf would ever want a wooden chain for is imprisoning an elf... and a wooden cage works better for that anyway.

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

But you can't hammer an elf in a cage.

[Bumber]

What about stone chains? Or would those crumble to pieces at the given sizes?

[dwarfhoplite]

I don't like the idea of being capable of making almost anything out of anything. Gameplay-wise it's better to have player collect various resources instead of few all-capable ones. Wooden chain is not nowhere near as durable as rope or metal chain and, like the person in the video said, they take hundreds of hours to produce.

[Bumber]

Perhaps the human in the video was taken by a mood.

Stone chains I suppose are feasible. To be frank, more than enough stuff can be made from stone or wood; probably too much from stone (maybe not enough from clay).

[King Mir]

I wouldn't mind artifact wood chains, but the way unskilled dwarves can make every item without wasting material, wood chains should not be possible as regular items.
