Using ore dictionary compatible workbenches (i.e. Tinkers Construct Crafting Station) in the recipe doesn't work.
The recipe is not seen as valid.
To be able to use all compatible workbenches as ingredients.
Most likely all.
Define "doesn't work".
Here is a short video detailing the issue: https://gfycat.com/LamePastelCornsnake
I think the recipe is using only the vanilla Crafting Table, not the ore dictionary equivalents. Refined Storage is looking for "Blocks.CRAFTING_TABLE"
I also found Blocks.CHEST, which you could use the ore dictionary tag chestWood (I think) to add in compatibility with Quark's variants (among others).
According to that GIF, vanilla has the tags
-workbench
-craftingTableWood
While TiCon has only
-workbench
I made a fork and changed the Crafting Grid, Processing Pattern Encoder, Crafting Upgrade, Disk Drive , and (in a moment, just now saw it) the Security Manager to use the ore dictionary tags "workbench" and "chestWood" as appropriate. Unfortunately, I won't be able to test this until tonight and have no idea if I did it correctly or not (total programming experience: Introduction to C++ college class and simple Lua programs in Computercraft/OpenComputers).
I did see that the External Storage already uses the "chest" ore dictionary tag. Is that preferred over chestWood?
yes
I failed to get the Solderer recipes working, but at least I got the vanilla crafting recipes to use the ore dictionary. The above pull requests should 'fix' the Processing Pattern Encoder and Security Manager.
