My handy Leatherman Tool is a very hand contraption. Taken on a file cabinet using the built-in flash for harsh light.

Contraption

This beast still works like a champ - it prints and embosses the monetary amount on checks.

Macro Mondays theme 'contraption'.

Supposed to be for tightening the nut that secures a tap to a sink or wash basin, no room under these modern units.

Maybe con-TRAP-tion, as in fingers, ouch!

Macro Monday

Ruffle attachment to my 1891 Singer treadle sewing machine. The attachment has a patent date of 1888. I have all the complete attachments, the wood box it came in, and the original manuals for the machine and the attachments. I've sewn quilts and civil war reenacting clothing for myself and my son when he was young. It sews like a dream, but I do love my modern computerized machine.

Three intrepid friends team up to make a contraption for finding gold.

Gerber multi-tool. Pliers with extra functions.

I ended up in the shed looking for a contraption this week. HMM

Marvel as the Professor communicates with the dead via his augmented ethereal communicator! Simply place the bones of a cherished loved one you wish to speak to on the soul amplification bowl and watch as the spirit appears behind the uranium glass viewer!

My second entry to the Hall of Wonders. I should admit I was totally inspired by Ron Bell's wicked Steampunk sculptures. The Victorians did have a small fixation with death so a seance machine seemed like a good choice for the Hall of Wonders.

One of the weird and interesting contaptions in the Science Museum, London. We spent a short time here before going to the Victoria and Albert Museum. It was free entry and I could have spent a much longer time here. This is the Aerial Tuning Inductor from the Rugby Radio Station, collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co8059486/ae...

I recently broke my phone, and so I've upgraded to the LG V20. This is the camera on the back - very fancy! It has two cameras (a "regular" and a wide angle lens), two LED flashes and laser autofocus. Phones have come a long way in the last decade. I hope this counts as contraption-y enough for this weeks MM theme. It's been quite a while since I've contributed!

What if

I bought this because I thought it would be useful for my photography.. I has been . I've used this twice in the past two weeks. I used it to illuminate my ornaments from the inside and this week for the contraption theme. Using the reverse mount method with my 50 mm lens.

Aesthetics were not a high priority when it came to building this control dam. Looks like a leftover from a bygone era. However it still functions as the engineers meant it to. It does make for an interesting photograph during late evening.
