Awesome! Great job, he looks like a proper ponderer of the flawn.
And I'm very flattered that you followed my idea to build a flawnponderer's workshop

Thanks. And thanks for the good advice and inspiration.

Since not everyone knows what a Flawnponderer's workshop is, and as we already established there is no Wikipedia article about it, here is my brief explanation to King Peter I for anyone willing to read:

PeterI: what medieval building should I build?
Aliencat: A flawnponderer's workshop
Aliencat: With a nice refurbal table
Aliencat: Make sure you add a fireplace, they need those
PeterI: What is a flawnponderer, if i may ask
PeterI: Wiki has no flawnponderer page
Aliencat (to PeterI): Evil wiki, I will write in a letter of complaint rightaway!
Trevor: if I had to guess, I'd say it's someone who spends their time pondering flawns
PeterI: Can People tell me?

< intermezzo where we dictionary.com the meaning of "flawn" and "ponderer"

PeterI: Thinker of pie?
Aliencat: So basically a flawnponderer is someone who thinks about those kinds of pie a lot, and does it for a living
Aliencat: He even gets his own workshop
Foamrider: Thats my dream.
PeterI: so he just thinks of pie and people pay him?
PeterI: so I put my cook hat in action?
Aliencat: Yes sir
Aliencat: That can be his thinking hat
PeterI: or he is just a philosopher of pies?
Aliencat: Yes, I don't think a flawnponderer actually makes pies
Aliencat: Otherwise he'd be a baker
PeterI: yea
PeterI: well, so he just thinks of diffrent pies
PeterI: and then he takes his plan to the baker, the baker makes the pie, and the baker gives it to the king?
Aliencat (to PeterI): If the king doesn't like it, it's off with the baker's head, so the flawnponderers weren't very popular with the bakers
PeterI: ah
Aliencat: If a flawnponderer didn't like a certain baker, he'd just give him an awful recepy
Aliencat: And a few days later, off with his head, flawnponderer doesn't even get involved
PeterI: WOW!
PeterI: so how does the flawnponderer make a living?
Aliencat: They lived mostly off of money from bakers to get good recepies, sort of like the maffia
Aliencat: "You don't pay, I give you a bad recepy and it's off with your head"
Aliencat: So a flawnponderer could terrorize a whole city's bakers
PeterI: I will have to order 10 cook hats because I see not 1 cook will be dead
Aliencat: Sometimes there were more than one flawnponderer, and they'd have gangwars in the streets with the peasant militia enlisted with the money from the bakers
Trevor: flawnponderer=pie engineer. he doesn't make pies, he just creates them
PeterI: But dosen't the flawnponderer have to have some baking experience when he wants to make recipies?
Aliencat: They'd also do the occasional horse-and-carriage ram into a bakery to keep the bakers on their feet
Aliencat (to PeterI): The flawnponderer doesn't care about knowledge, he cares only about money and power
Aliencat: It would often happen that a flawnpondered would ask a baker to make something he couldn't possibly make
Aliencat: But what could the baker say?
PeterI: ok!
PeterI: So I am getting off this chat
PeterI: and getting to work

So I just want to say to King Peter, that you did an excellent job turning something that started off as a joke into an actual MOC of the very workshop we were talking about. Good work making something made-up into something real! We should do this more often
Next time you can think up the non-existent profession and I'll make a MOC of it! Or the whole chat can join in and we can have a quick little 24-hour building contest! I'm so excited thinking of the ideas we could come up with!

[Peasantpeteri]

Lol, I knew it was made up the second I learned what flawn meant.

[Aliencat]

Lol, I knew it was made up the second I learned what flawn meant.

Yeah I know you were playing along with the joke.
Thanks for being a good sport and building it anyway! It came out great.

[Teherean]

Hahahaha! It took me half an our in the chat with you two to figure out that a flawnponderer doesn't exist
great job on the workshop peter!

It doesn't!?!?! Here I've been updating my CV for nothing.

Bruce, pondering all sorts of desserts

great job on the workshop peter!

Lol. I should make another MOC where you and me ponders, for diffrents of pies. Aliencat is not included because he told me he will make a rivaling flawnpondering workshop.
