Is the task Build Animal Trap?  Carpenters don't do that.  Trappers do.

They don't build anything else either.

[Bouchart]

Is the carpenter's workshop built in such a way that it obstructs pathing?

Is the material that the workshop is made out of forbidden?

Is the labor actually set properly?  An immigrant may be called Carpenter but might not have the labor set.

No, it does not obstruct the area around it.

Microcline ain't forbidden on this end.

Yes, he was from the embark but has yet to his job at all.

[Bouchart]

Oh man we really need to think about this.

Is this a modded game?  Maybe something got messed up in the raws.

Is he wounded?  He might not be able to pick up anything.

[Marthnn]

Yes, he was from the embark but has yet to his job at all.

He did do his job once or not?

Vanilla all the way.

No medical records of injuries, and he isn't wounded at all.

Yes, he was from the embark but has yet to his job at all.

He did do his job once or not?

Just once, to build a few beds, then suddenly gave up.

Did you change the workshop profile to disable certain skill levels or dwarves?

I've never dealt with the workshop profile, so I left it alone for the most of the time.

Is the carpenter part of the military?  I don't think they do normal civilian tasks if they are.

Beyond that, I'm totally out of ideas.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Punch your computer and see if he works then.

Nope, he's remained civilian the whole time we embarked.

Punch your computer and see if he works then.

I did, all that came out was a purple flash and the next thing I knew I was lying on the ground with a dead Dragon in my bed.

Butcher it, make armor out of its scales, refrigerate the meat and sell the bones to a museum.

The scales, THEY ARE TOO THICK!

[Urist Imiknorris]

CHAINSAW!

It occurs to me that the carpenter could have other labours enabled. By default, dwarves have hauling, basic medical care and cleaning enabled. It's possible that the dwarf's personality is so disposed that he'd select cleaning, caring, or hauling over carpentry. It's also possible that he'd select a job which would be immediately cancelled due to lack of materials or some other thing being forbidden or inaccessible. For example, he might want to clean, but there isn't any available soap or water or buckets. Of course this would show up in announcements, but you might have some announcements disabled.
