A fisherdwarf of mine entered a strange mood, picked up stone, claimed a mason's workshop, made a rock statue and then... became a legendary MINER.
He wasn't even dabbling miner before !

[Morlark]

I'm pretty sure that's supposed to happen. If a dwarf doesn't have any mood-capable skills when they get the mood, they just pick a random one. In this case he picked mining.

i've had a fisherdwarf get a mood and take over a craftdwarfs shop to make an artifact crown and become a legendary stonecrafter. it does seem odd that you'd get legendary miner out of a statue instead of legendary mason though

Miners have to make something to become legendary.  They can't just carve a legendary hole-in-the-wall.

Why not?   The legendary hallway...

[Align]

Maybe he'd go find a spot with a suitable amount of undug space, then get to work making a 6x6 room that gets instantly smoothed & engraved once completed...

Maybe I'm nuts, but I think the idea of legendary miner's getting that way via super fast, insta smoothed tunneling of already designated areas pretty sweet.

The code would just check if there was sufficient untunneled but designated (and accessible) rock and, if so, then allow for the legendary miner feat - if not, force into another random skill ... like legendary masons that carved statues ...

If there is no designated space, the dwarf ought to demand some be designated, or he'll just dig wherever he pleases, potentially leading to amusing disaster (like digging into a magma vent and flooding the entire fortress).

That would be both annoying and AWESOME!  I endorse this idea.

Woooooot!! I like this.

Legendary miner usually get legendary by digging lots of standard-hole-in-the-wall.

Though it would be nice if legendary miners could mine directly smoothed/engraved stone  

[JoRo]

Imagine the carnage if he automatically made a masterwork engraving where another dwarf was digging...  
My legendary miner became legendary by seizing a mason's shop and making a single ingredient shale door.

lol... yeah... mine did so too.  Instead of digging a legendary hole-in-the-wall, he had to dig a legendary NUMBER of holes-in-the-wall.  My only legendary miner was actually my chief, which I forced back to do mining duty to get legendary coz he got kicked out of his room when economy starts.  Now I just activate him on need basis to dig out precious gems and ores.
