In the article Power Tools Retrofitted for the Amish, Halfvast Conspirator commented:

I have some Amish friends who have set up a large woodworking shop with some serious old industrial equipment they run with belts off a diesel engine. The shop is retro tech, like something from the 19th century but with a diesel engine. They built channels in the floor for the belts, and various jack shafts to take off power. One guy had in the sawmill (diesel-driven portable mill) a table saw with an old motorcycle engine to run it, which was actually a great idea for something away from electricity.

In the piece #ifihadglass, Oh the Things We’d Do…, Steven Henricksen remarks:

On MAKE’s Facebook page, a picture from the post, How To: Levitation Photography spurred Brent Stevens to say:

Could almost pass as planking.

On the Make Twitter page, Maker Faire received a shout-out from the folks at Leap Motion:

In the article Tool Tales: A Pivotal Piece of History, ka1axy responded with:

That looks almost exactly like a tool I used to use when working on Teletypes, called a spring hook. It was used to hook the second end of a spring over its attachment point. Wonderfully handy tool…still have mine.
