**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2022:**
הנוגע בכובד העליון (he who touches the upper beam from which the warp depends) –the weaver has two round pieces of wood, the first that the warp (i.e., longitudinal) thread is wrapped around, and the second that is in front of it that all the while that he continues to weave, he wraps the woven curtain. And because they are heavy, they are called כובד. And the upper beam from which the warp depends is what is in front of him, and the lower beam (כובד התחתון – the roller on which the web is wound as it advances) is distant one from him for all the warp (longitudinal thread) is wrapped on it.

קשטנית (bow=shaped handle of a borer, “bow-drill”) – like a kind of small bow of wood that they insert in it the iron of a borer when he wants to bore/penetrate into it, but when a person holds the bow and rolls the iron in it, but if the iron is impure, the bow is not defiled, for it is not considered an attachment, for it was their practice to not attach the bow to the iron.
