Having followed the link I'm still trying to imagine what they mean by "leverage the most powerful tools available."

I wanted to see the drawing description, but since I'm not a member(Blush), only a newbie, it wouldn't let me see!

Dear consuelo: I don't think you missed anything worth seeing. Any male dumb enough to use a contraption like that is nuttier than any fruitcake. I have heard a lot of jokes about such contraptions. I had one funny experience when working in a the machine shop of a foundry that is not too vile that I'll tell you about by PM if you wish.

My father played the guitar, not very well, but somewhat. Back in the '50s he brought home a device someone had given him. It was a plastic box-like contraption with straps on one side and buttons on the top. It was supposed to be a guitar-chord player. You strapped it onto the neck of your guitar, then if you pressed down on the button marked A, it played an A-maj. chord, etc., supposedly. Actually, it didn't work worth a damn, since it was only cheap plastic and didn't get the strings stopped well enough to make a clear chord. But we thought it was a hilarious effort to substitute for fingers.
