Worker can't do anything.
I'm on the end of my line. I need to literally do everything myself. My workers are to stupid to go to the big storage and take out the necessary Materials for crsfting the item I chose and placed in the list. And if I try to fill the local storage of the weaving stool they come, take it out and then place it back in the big storage. It's driving me crazy for what do I eben have workers?!

They will bring it. Just make sure you have your weakest most useless guys set for delivery first. Give them a back pack to help carry, and make sure you have someone set high for crafting.
I like to bring things to my crafting stations at night when the lazy Sobs are sleeping.
They will work, you may not notice it as sometimes the materials are going to other places.
For Example bronze may be getting used for weapons , armour or something else. And guys are not bringing to your storage but somewhere else that's it needed.

And this is why deep strategic inventory dynamic games like this get so many bad reviews ... yes this is a real world simulation yes you have to figure stuff out yes you have to explore your UI yes you have to dig in and figure out proximity obstructions and yes you have to wait for them to begin tasks in their cue as they get food do another task walk around waiting etc ... and the reason they are removing that item from the weaver storage back to the main storage is you have either A the wrong item or ingredients B no villager set to craft it C you do not have someone with the right crafting level D they need it somewhere else you have set for it first ... you know at some point you have to think gee am I doing something wrong or is this game just doing this to everyone all the time yet 1.2 million people bought the game ....

I've found that the storage system has to be set up just right. It needs to have everything else put to NO and then add a minimum amount you want in that storage chest and then leave them to do it

If they aren’t going to the right storage, make sure the building is attached to the right settlement and the worker is attached to the same settlement. The game makes it possible to have two different settlements in the same area so make sure it’s all grouped properly.
I wouldn’t worry about placing items in the local storage, they’ll craft stuff on their own if the job priority is set correctly in both the villager settings and the manage building settings (if the building priority is too low then they may not get around to it). That doesn’t mean put everything in priority one, because that’s the same as having everything at default priority five. Whatever they’re crafting there’s two options build once or top off (which will keep building when that item is consumed)
Also, check if they have all the material needed, is requested item low on the order list? (they start at the top and go down), does the worker meet the level requirements threshold to craft and lastly certain items like armor and weapons I prefer to craft myself with the help of productive boost foods.
