Bags for sand collecting? Dont think you need furnace operating on... but that shouldnt stop it.

Make sure the workshop is allowing him to actually work there through the profile.

The fact that he's not even trying to work there means some how he doesn't have permission or knows he's supposed to work in that shop.

With [SLOW_LEARNER], dwarves probably don't sit around and talk anymore. They just stand in the same corner altogether, staring at each other, sticking their bearded lips out trying to make sounds. And giggling when someone actually says a whole word.

Also make sure the workshop isn't made from a material that has been forbidden.

Cancel the order and re-order it, I find dwarves are a tad stubborn when they are assigned new labors with existing jobs.
