If you like woodworking and/or learning about vintage tools and their history you will, no doubt, enjoy The blurfl FAQ. There IS NO "previous" discussion of the blurfl on MeFi.
Thought it was a dumalfač with a left-handed Whitworth thread.

If you have an older mechanical one, make sure you use it with a left-handed smoke shifter, or you may grint your sprundle.

You can often use a board stretcher in-lieu of a blurfl.

Blurfls are cool but I prefer the more sophisticated retroencabulator. The turboencabulator has also reached a high level of development.
