Works in 1.4.7, broken in Snapshot 13w02a. Here's a new version that works in 1.5: http://youtu.be/ISpLOl0EN7E

Monkeyfarm does some great videos on Youtube and gives me a lot of inspiration, but his redstone creations can be improved from time to time. In this case, a button on his obsidian generator drove me nuts (causing mistakes, killing me a few times and time-consuming), so here's a buttonless version with bud switches: you just place your string or redstone, automatically trigger a lava blade, mine the resulting obsidian and then the machine resets itself automatically for more string. No pressing of buttons involved ;)

Tutorial starts at 4'30"

With lots of obsidian, you can spawn pigmen in the overworld:

This is an awesome video explaining bud switches (Block UpDate switch) - never understood bud switches until I've seen this:
