This gadget belonged to my FIL. As you say, the plane blade was clamped into the slot in the leading edge and the screw that controls the roller could be adjusted so that the bevel on the blade was at the correct angle. The second part of this tool was an oil stone that was large enough to accept the tool with enough length to allow it to be run back and forth on the stone, thus sharpening the blade.
Neat eh?
For any of you trying to read the embossed words, they are "MELHUISH LONDON"

For MIT Tech Review, a picture of my gadgets. Here part 4/4 of the related story, on continous computing.
This is a post in response to several threads in the Strobist group (I have seen it pop up on UTATA and the Canon DSLR User Group as well) asking how does one connect a Pocket Wizard or an E-bay Trigger to a Brand-X flash.
The key component in use here is the Wein HSH ( which sells for about $30). As Dave Hobby mentions in a post from Sept. 2006 this little device lets you connect a flash without a PC-synch terminal on it (Sigma EF-500 DG Super users I'm looking at you) to a variety of trigger devices. This allows me to use my flash with:
The advantage of the house-hold connection is it is a lot stronger than a standard PC connection. As also mentioned in the post, another nice feature of these adapters is they have a 1/4 x 20 mounting thread on the bottom. Since the bodies are aluminum they make for a sturdy flash mount.
I connect my flash to the Gadget Infinity triggers via a standard PC-to-HH sync cord. I just let the trigger hang by the cord because it is so light. This helps solve two of the annoyances of these triggers:
1. It provides for a more solid flash mount
2. It brings the flash more in line with the center of the umbrella.
Using a small length of zip cord, a house-hold plug (bought from the hardware store for $1), and standard 1/8 mini-plug (Radio Shack for $1.50) I made my own sync cable. I can now connect my Pocket Wizards to any flash.

Let's see if anybody recognizes this special item. It was given to me by a doctor friend. :)
This IS a sonic screwdriver. Fans of Dr. Who recognized it as the all purpose tool which has gotten our favorite Time Lord out of many a jam.
> No cassette deck has ever been an oil painting, but early examples of the breed were particularly nasty to look at. Seventies top-loaders were fussy and a pain to use, while front-loaders looked brash and imposing. As for the machines' mechanics, forget it. Crude and clunky, they only served to confirm cassette's status as the poor relation of open-reel.
Not to long after i got my camera from a friend who upgraded to the D300s.We went out towards the gorge and started taking photos of the falls.Its been almost a years sense that day.

Tuning peg on a bass, shot with a 10x diopter on a 50mm lens. There's a lot of dust on this -- guess it hasn't been tuned in a while....

Geeking out on how to build this damn car i can tell you guys, it is not easy to build something that looks kind of ugly and make it still look good.
Took me some time to figure out how to do tthe transformation, but you know me!

Nice to find a place in Edinburgh which will repair cracked tablet and smartphone screens (and other things). A happy customer! Towards the east end of Ferry Road.

Danbo is creating a Special Gadget !!!!
I'll happily accept advice on a gadget bag that will suit my needs and not break my wallet. I've seen some Tom Bihn bags that I LOVE, but I can't justify the price. Looking for alternatives.
All the items in this photo (plus my iPad) fit in my current bag, but it's crammed full with no organization.
Some comments on the contents: Yes, my rarely used checks are in a Vera Bradley cover. My old vinyl cover wore out and my wife put them in this case, and I've never had an excuse to change it. And yes, I do carry a SIM tray opener tool from a long-ago iPhone model since Apple doesn't bundle them any more. Two sets of earbuds? Yep, one with the 3.5mm jack and one with the Lightning jack for my iPhone 7. Yes, I'm redundant enough to carry the 3.5mm earbuds plus the 3.5mm to Lightning adapter. And yes, I still carry a Lightning adapter for old 30-pin Dock accessories. Why carry the bulky add-on cable for the charger brick? It actually has less to do with grounding and more to do with lengthening the charge cable as I often need to do. Last comment is to identify the gray square at the bottom as a little pouch holding multicolor sticky note pads.
Not very happy uploading this, but hate getting behind and these are really the only gadgets I have with me, being 1000 klm's from home and in a rented apartment. Please excuse the comp.

Strobist info: one bare SB900 and SB800 under the Model pointing upwards and downwards towards the walls, one bare SB600 fired straight down at her lower leg, one SB26 fired into a silver umbrella pointing down at a 45 degree angle above her head. Triggered with CLS.
A gadget is a small tool such as a machine that has a particular function, but is often thought of as a novelty. Gadgets are sometimes referred to as gizmos. Read more on therandomgadgetshop.com
