Matthias Wandel here. Funny how my old stuff shows up on hacker news from time to time, though it was less than a year ago that I ported it to javascript, used to be flash, cause when I created it more than ten years ago, javascript canvas wasn't mature enough yet.

Good on you for sharing it :) I have a friend who loves making machines out of materials on hand (many a stirling engine built from plywood, tin cans, and balloons!), and I've forwarded this link to him.

Hi Matthias! Big fan of your videos. I hope your tendinitis improves and you can make it back into the shop soon to make more power tools out of old furniture other people have thrown out. Cheers!

Cheers Matthias - and adding my voice. My kids are a huge fan of yours. And given that youtube has replaced TV in our house your videos are a highlight. They want more and more complex mouse mazes please- multi story if possible.

Hey, awesome tool! I used it for a hackathon project at Case Western a few years back to make the gears for driving a laser cut wood tank tread for a gameday dip carrying robot. Thanks for making this!

I really enjoy your videos. I wish I had the space and time to make stuff out of wood. Software and servers isn't just the same since you can't touch it.

Hi Matthias! As everyone else, I love your work, and really admire your designs. Thanks for sharing! > Funny how my old stuff shows up on hacker news from time to time I really like this feature from Hacker News. People sharing periodically the same projects that have inspired or awe them. These kind of projects are not "news", and that makes them better, they've standed the test of time and keep amazing people year after year.

Matthias, thanks for making your videos. They are what got me into woodworking, which I'm guessing will be a life-long hobby. I really appreciate your style of videos as well. Thanks for not "chasing the algorithm", and for staying true to your fanbase (as demanding as we can be). I've learned so much from your general approach to problem-solving, as well. So, thanks for not editing out those parts.
