Tools for trades

I don't recall seeing it anywhere in the builders lessons, but is it possible to design tools that would work with trades?

What kind of tools and trades did you have in mind exactly?

If you mean tools that would give you a bonus to some trade (like ropes given you a bonus to your climb skill), then it's currently not possible. It would require the addition of new flags like APPLY_MINING, APPLY_SMELTING, and so on (I don't think we already have those).

I was thinking in a simple pick, no bonuses.

Totally guessing here, but just by specifying a weapon as WEAPON_TYPE_PICK would be enough to be able to mine with it?

For mining, yes, WEAPON_TYPE_PICK.

For smelting or smithing WEAPON_TYPE_WARHAMMER.

Not 100% sure on lapidary, because hammers for jewelery creation can not be used for smithing, perhaps WEAPON_TYPE_LIGHT_HAMMER there.

For slicing or fletching WEAPON_TYPE_KNIFE

For woodworking I'd guess WEAPON_TYPE_HANDAXE

If I remember; I'll look over some existing examples tonight and post to confirm for each trade.
