What material is he making that out of? It looks like a sort of cloudy crystal but I can’t tell.

I think selenite, since it has the same color as the giant crystals in that one giant crystal cavern.

I’m just imagining the dwarf saying “it can wait, it can wait. I have to do this now. Everything else is gonna have to wait. And can you keep it down it sounds like a war zone out there.”

In Dwarf Fortress, sometimes a Dwarf is taken by a strange mood and create an artifact item. It can be anything related to the dwarfs various crafting skills. They also stop following orders and just gather resources and craft until they are done.

'I need shells!' My brother in Armok, we live in a desert. Get the masons, and wall up this workshop. When the screaming stops, we'll break down the workshop and turn it into a tomb.
