Why not link to the original source[1] instead?

Yes, that would be the right thing to do. The article itself does link to my work (it's my creation) but it's hardly highlighted, and near the top, where nobody would look. I'm very disappointed in makezine. Just stealing stuff. Could the link itself be changed to actually point at MY article?

Hey Matthias, taking the opportunity you say thank you. I look forward to your videos each week and really enjoy your no non-sense approach to wood working.

Thanks for all the videos, especially the dresser ones.

Thanks from me too.

My wife and I (both uwaterloo! EE and CS respectively) watch your videos together. She has done quite a bit of wood working, and really enjoys your pantorouter.

In a few weeks, after a decade of waiting, we will finally have a shop to work in. Can't wait to do some projects with her.

I love how open and transparent you were about your process and the mistakes you went through to get it working. It's much more exciting than just a slick video of the final result.

Absolutely, we updated the link from http://makezine.com/2015/08/05/infinite-slinky-escalator/?ut....

I really do enjoy this, thank you very much! I may try and do a writeup of the possible physics at some pint with your permission, would that be okay? (Also Uwaterloo represent!)

Hey Matthias, I came to the video through MAKE Magazine that so far has been a legitimate source of information to the maker community, I tried to edit the post but I couldn't next time I'll double-check that.
