If you are slowly working toward getting [[glass]] production up and running (waiting for a [[magma]] glass furnace or for a [[dwarf]] with glassmaking skill to immigrate, for example), you may wish to get a head start on sand gathering in the meanwhile. Setting up two or three glass furnaces and a sand bag [[stockpile]] for the sole purpose of queueing up multiple "gather sand/R" tasks may be an excellent use of your time and hauling labor. With a few dozen sand-filled bags waiting, your glassmaker will have plenty of raw material ready when it is time to begin glass construction. |

[[Masonry]] is easier to get running (and you are more likely to encounter mason [[immigrants]] than glassmaker immigrants), and will clear excess stone from your fortress. Glass produces items with higher base [[value]], and using a [[magma glass furnace]] essentially makes objects from nothing. |
