An ordinary 3/4"-10 nut from my hardware collection, purchased probably over a decade ago. I've long forgotten why I bought such a large nut since I would have purchased higher-grade fasteners for safety.
This is a slide lock for a trombone. The lock rotates and engages with a wedge shaped lug on the outer tube of the slide. Once engaged the outer tube of the slide is held firmly in place.
There's this water pump I think it is at the park and it has lots of nuts and bolts... and painted red! Perfect for the group's theme: #Fastener .. So many to choose from. Some were rusty, some stained and others were covered with webs and dirt. I picked this because of the tool marks and peeling paint. The nut is about an inch in diameter. #MacroMondays

Nite Ize "Figure 9" cord fastener.
This is the small version - the photo is just under 2" edge-to-edge.
The eagle eyed will notice that the loop end is actually tied incorrectly but it still works. The correct method is shown here.
For those who have not seen them before, they are commonly available at outdoor, boating or hardware stores. I usually throw a couple in my luggage or camera bag and find they can come in quite handy.

Have you seen any 🐟over there? Yesterday we went to the beach and we saw this hook among the rocks. A good way to catch fishes... HMM!
Screws drilled into the hinges of the door.
I shot this without cleaning of the dust as I want it the way it is.
I processed the shot in monochrome for it present a better perspective and depth than in colors.

These herb stripper scissors come apart for easy and completely sanitary washing. This shot shows the ingenious fastener that connects the two separate halves of the scissors.
When you open the scissors to the maximum angle, the fastener disengages the blades and the handles separate.

For the group Macro Monday this week, the theme is "Fastener".
So I chose this old fashioned window latch which fastens the top window to the bottom window, locking the windows closed. It is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches across.
This is the only old fashioned window fastener left in the house... made in the beautifully decorative manner of the 1800s. All the rest of the windows have had the locks replaced.
Taking this photo was incredibly involved!
First, It is above my head, so I had to stand on a ladder.
Second, I couldn't use my flash because it reflected in the window glass. So I needed a different light. I have several battery operated lights just for this purpose, so I sat one on the windowsill shining on the latch.
This not only was too glaring and diminished the details of the ironwork, but once I had the photo on my computer, the light revealed all sorts of dirt I hadn't known was there. An entire miniature dust bunny was tucked back in there!
So, third, I had to scrub the area clean! Unfortunately, this somehow deposited hundreds of little green threads all over the latch, which I didn't see until the next set of photos were on my computer. So I had to clean it again. And then take test photos to blow up on my computer to see if it was really clean this time.
So, fourth, I recruited my husband to hold the light for me, to give me a better light angle but that got old fast, so I finally duck taped the little battery operated light to the window glass.
Fifth, I realized I needed to do a focus stack to get the whole thing in focus. That meant a tripod. But I don't have a tripod that tall. So I spent a lot of time trying to raise my tripod up upon something. When I finally managed it, I realized that now I couldn't get the ladder close enough to use the camera. So I had to take apart everything I had built, and use my tripod as a monopod, balanced on top of a plastic storage container. Such classy studio equipment!
Sixth, up on the ladder, leaning over awkwardly, trying to hold the tripod/monopod in position to take three or four different focus shots without moving in between, I got a good sized crick in my neck.
And people think photography is easy! It isn't, but it is fun!
This tapered cotter pin arrangement fastens the single hand of my chamber clock to the main drive shaft. The dial behind the hand is used to set the alarm time by aligning it with the short spike on the hand. The clock was made in Halesworth, Suffolk in the early 1700s and may well have been in my family for the whole of its life. If only it could talk!
Macro Monday's theme this week is fasteners. I think this probably best fits the brief. Wood or composite board screws.
