This is why I like to try to take along at least one sheep for my start as I will always have yarn to make cloth out of. Otherwise just hope a trade caravan comes BEFORE the dorf goes nuts. As as my last mention.......I suggest walling him off and locking him inside the workshop. If he goes crazy let your military use him as practice.

Human caravan to save the day!

Now I'm just waiting for him to pull an adamantine hammer out of his ass. 

Edit:

Aaaaand it's an adamantium pick. That's... okay, I guess.

ReEdit: OH MY GOD IT'S WORTH OVER A MILLION DWARFBUCKS.

Yeah, adamantine is pretty ridiculously valuable. Whatever value multiplier, whatever decorations, if the base is adamantine, it's going to be tremendous. Artifact value is 120, multiplied by the material value of 300, multiplied by the (in this case) item value of 22 for a pick, it's worth at least 792,000. And that's not counting the decorations, such as the glorious yarn.

As for use, I'd put one of your legendary miners in the military so you don't lose it in a careless mining accident.

Mining picks make great weapons, congrats! Much better than an adamantine warhammer or toy boat.

Put a legendary miner in a militia and give him that pick and you will see more limbs fly than from a whole hallway of serrated steel disks.

I love miner miltia Who needs swords a pick and a miner can kill anything

[Casp]

I see.

So how do I get one to equip the pick?

[iamrawr]

through the military screen, m -> e, select squad, select dudeface, W and the just pick the adamantium pick from there or you can make a uniform for that specific guy

[Ultimuh]

May we see it's description?

[Casp]

Sure thing.

This is a adamantine pick. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with siltstone and studded with adamantine and iron. This object is adorned with hanging rings of llama wool and menaces with spikes of siltstone and iron. On the item is an image of a walrus in almandine.
On the item is an image of The Grove of Wails the adamantine pick in sheep wool.

I have no idea where the walrus came from...

It's creator probably likes Walruses?
Or he/she detests them?

I can't find it in the specific weapons list, and when I tell him to equip a random pick he refuses to pick (no pun intended) one up.

Disable the mining profession from him before drafting him into the military.  The mining 'uniform' and the soldier 'uniform' clash and he won't pick up the weapon.  He should pick up the pick basically right away.

When it says "on the item is an image of", I tend to imagine it as "the item takes the form of" this totally works for the walrus, its protruding tusks serve as the pointy bit. However I can never explain how hanging rings of Llama wool can be the least bit awesome
