There are lots of leaf-cutter bees (of several species) active at my garden bee-hotels at the moment. I've been spending ridiculous amounts of time positioned there, attempting to get that perfect in-flight shot. Just to make it clear, I realise that this shot is far from perfect!
I think that this is a Patchwork Leafcutter Bee (Megachile centuncularis). I've not seen one carrying such a large piece of leaf before. I was actually focused on another hole, waiting for a larger leafcutter female to return, when this individual flew into view. I'm a bit "diagonal" to the surface of the bee-hotel here, hence parts of the bee being in focus, but the majority not. It's very "touch and go" this in-flight photography. I've been positioning myself with the camera focused on a particular hole where I have seen a female leave. They generally return within 30 seconds with another piece of leaf. You can hear them coming, but they often hesitate when they become aware of you and the camera next to their nest. As soon at their head appears in frame, I take the shot.
I haven't got a really top quality shot during this recent session. I shall persevere though!
This is an envelope opener. You run the top of the envelope along the groove and a small cutter slices 2mm or so off the top of the envelope. It is just under 50mm long.
The image has been focus stacked to keep all of the subject and its reflection in focus.

A keyring gift from our daughter to her dad......how fortunate that the backdrop is the lid of the box it came in!!
Although I think this fish is posing 'upside down' it does show off the (blade) cutter which is the challenge for this week !!

From Wikipedia:
Plasma cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch. In this process, an inert gas (in some units, compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle; at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut, turning some of that gas to plasma. The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut. Plasma can also be used for plasma arc welding and other applications.
I wanted to let everyone see the bevel on the edge of the pipe that the craftsman was making using the Plasma Cutter.

One of many cutters from my grandfather's Fulton Combination Moulding Plane. This one forms the edges of mullions, muntins, rails and stiles in wooden windows. If I had actually used this cutter it would be a lot sharper. I have used several of the other cutters for reproducing moulding in our old house. A router or table saw molding head is a better way to go!
In spite of what it says in the EXIF stuff, this was taken with an old manual Zuiko 50mm f/3.5 macro lens.
