My Gemsetter just claimed a jewelcrafters workshop im just curious what is he going to make?

[Shurikane]

You never know.

Check out his list of requirements (hit Q and hover over his workshop).  This may help you make your pronostics.

[Refar]

You could look what stuff he's hauling in there and start guessing 

[Weev]

You never know.

Guessing and hopeing will lead you to frustration in the long run.  You want a bed or statue, what your going to get is a blowgun or mask.

I got a bed made out of silk.

Eh?

[chaoticag]

I had barrels and animal traps made out of jewels, and maybe even a wepon of some sort, not that I remember.

But the golden rule is that if it is makeable any other way, the dwarf will make it.

Not as bad as TWO adamantine floodgates...

If you save the game when the game autopauses for the beginning of the construction, savescumming can change the artifact made

Turn that steel shoe into a steel.. boot. 8 times in a row. Takes some time to get something you want since the game seems predisposed for creating something that's supposed to come in pairs. But persevere and you'll get that platemail

[Krash]

I got a gold plate mail worth 430 000.  One luxury residence for armorer on the way!

[Dathar]

turns out what he made was a perfect star saphire adorned with menecing spikes of star rubie they where the only gems i brought and i had decided to sacrafice my anvil for them for no paticular reson

[Weev]

Congratulations, if my math is right, your going to have that artifact all over every engraving. Ever.

[Tcei]

Yep, you'll have engravings of your gem artifact, and engravings of engravings of said artifact.
My fort has produced 3 artifacts so far, a helm, a cross bow and a wooden ring...guess which one gets engraved over and over 

[sneakey pete]

the 3200 monies wooden ring?

I've had a few decent artifacts of late. Even got one that used some dragon leather i had lying around.

[Lexender]

Am I the only one "manipulating" the creation of its artifacts?

As soon as you see a mood, you save, wait to see what he needs and what he makes, and if he makes something useful (otherwise he dies very painfully), you ctrl-alt-del DF and start again, forbidding everything but your most prized resources. That can lead to very awesome Adamantium-adamantium-star rubies-dragon leather statues. That's very awesome. So very very awesome.

[LegacyCWAL]

I do the forbidding everything except the most expensive stuff, but not the save+reload part.

"I need a rock!  Oooh, chert!"
"NO! NOT YOURS!"
"Aww .  Ooh, native aluminum!"
