I don't think the version I saw is mechanical but I would have to go back and take a look at the video. I have this vague recollection that the video was more of an interview with someone (not David Farkas of Brooklyn but someone who isn't trying to keep it a secret). I think it's a hand-done process.
Yes, I am aware that Spanierarbeit = Spanish work, but these geographical names tend to be very slippery! (For example, blackwork embroidery has a long history of being called Spanish stitch.)
