I have a few gems in the stockpile, but when i try to cut gems i get:

"Jeweler cancels cut red grossular: needs red rough grosscular"

Edit: The jeweler just died of thirst, i think he somehow got stuck inside the workshop, i dunno why...
They wont take his body either, so something is wrong with it

[Thassa]

Is the door forbidden or blocked by parts of the workshop?  It sounds like he couldn't get at or through the door, since a dwarf will drop pretty much anything else if they are thirsty.

I havent even added a door yet

It sounds like the gem cutter trapped himself by building the workshop. You'll have to dig his body out if you want to bury it and deconstruct the shop.

Making rooms 5x5 or bigger for workshops prevents this sort of thing from happening.

Also, note: when constructing buildings, dark green Xs represent tiles that will be impassable to dwarves, while light green Xs represent tiles that allow passage.

Jeweler's workshops are notorious for this, as they have a whole side that's impassable.

Ah, the tutorial didnt explain that. This was my first fortress anyway, i think ill make start a new one now that i understand the game more.

The Wiki has little graphics under each workshop heading that show the "layout" of each workshop - very handy for avoiding this.
