I trained up an Armorsmith and Weaponsmith to legendary (+2, I believe) and made a bunch of masterful and exceptional steel armor and weapons for my military.

Melt anything that is not ☼Masterwork☼

Decorate your masterworks

Melt or sell anything that is not ☼<☼Masterwork☼>☼

Make new batch of armors/weapons, and try again. Your goal is to have your military wear only masterfully decorated masterworks. Nothing else can do.

Metalcrafting is an interesting idea... but how would I get them to stud specific items? I just see the 'stud with gold' option, and I'm not exactly sure how to choose what I'd like them to work on.

Well, just designate the stockpile that only accept that specific items as close as possible to the workshop and... just hope they will grab them for work.

What can help is, rather than just hoping, locking the forge in with only that stockpile and the stockpile of stuff to stud with. If the forge is in an open area, just construct walls all around it and then a door, and once the dwarf is inside, forbid the door so he can't leave. Let him out once he's thirsty then as soon as he goes back in lock him in again.

Alternatively if you have the space you can also include a small booze and food stockpile inside, and even a bed, so that you don't even have to let him out.

You could also make immense amounts of mastercraft crossbows, along with lots of mastercraft steel bolts, then to put weapon traps completely filled with crossbows throughout your entire fortress (and outside map).

Let's not forget the masterpiece mechanisms. The better the mechanism of the trap, the more damage the weapon trap does.
