Increased demand led to the adaptation of shoe-last machine tools for the fashioning of wooden club heads.

He is said to live on 150 pills a day, hopeful of surviving until what he calls "The Singularity" – the point at which humans build their last machine, all subsequent ones being built by other machines.
For a small-scale problem, an optimal solution to the problem is found using a branch-and-bound method in which the lower bound is determined according to the mth (the last) machine in the flowshop scheduling.
This tends to mean that each new system is very similar to the previous one with some minor modifications aimed at reducing the problems that the last machine had.
The last machine he built at Cornell was a 12 GeV synchrotron that remains in use as an injector for the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), built between 1977 and 1999.
