The small ambulance to the left is actually a squeezer, holding together a set of bandages that I got for the treatment of a burn on my hand. The burn is getting better, the bandages useful for this assignment....

I love this little denim jacket. I am giving it to my Granddaughter Chloe so she can wear it with her little dresses.

Got these Desert Boots in New Mexico, what better place. I have had them for a very long time but never wore them much.

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
The Carr Fastener Company of Cambridge Massachusetts opened this Canadian factory in 1920.
The company made snap fasteners to hold the side curtains of early open top automobiles, as time went on manufacturing included fasteners for clothing as well as radio tube pins and sockets.
The company moved to Stoney Creek Ontario in the 1960's and continued on as a subsidiary of TRW until that plant closed in the mid 1990's.
This building now serves as a automobile service facility.
Just some odds and ends found in a tatty old box at the back of the shed. "You never know if one of them will come in handy".

Fastener
sta·ple1 /ˈstāp(ə)l/ noun
a piece of thin wire with a long center portion and two short end pieces that are driven by a stapler through sheets of paper to fasten them together.
I did not realize that staples could become magnitized.
I had a heck of a time getting them to stay where I wanted and then discovered that dust and lint loved them.
And yet again we have a great theme! Love this group.
I’ve chosen a nylon zipper as my fastener and added two extension tubes to my lens to get real close.
Happy Macro Monday everyone and have a great week!

This is my "small fasteners" collection, I do the same with larger (mostly plastic) containers for larger fasteners too. I'm reluctant to throw any fastener away...
Just above this cabinet is a collection of clamps... www.flickr.com/photos/154287991@N05/31104754878/in/album-...

Locking heads together. Noticed this interesting zip on one of the wife's bags. Not seen one like it before

In "the back", of a Counter Store, called Ferragens Zacharias LDA, which is a street that is slowly changing from an Industrial Supply Street in Porto, to a place of Roaster/Brewers Coffee Shops and AirbnB's as well as others shops that locals, would never go inside of, but mainly business supporting "Estrangieros" or Touristas.
"Ferragens"- is one of the new words I'm learning that's used to describe a Hardware Store,in Portugal.
"Bricolage"- to me sounds my like a "Decorators" store, but then , there's also a shop in Gaia ....
"Druggeria", sounds like a Drug Store- right? Nope, it's more of a shop that sells Paint Solvents, and Outdoor BBQ Grills, and some fasteners, and Painting supplies, subsequently
it is taking me time to find what I need
to to fabricate an
"Beneath-The-Steel-Treads-of-our-Staircase-to-The-Sleeping-Lofts-Stairs-a-Spice-Storage-and Display-System"...for
our R.V.-sized Kitchen,
that's shockingly has 3.5 Kitchen Cabinets
in which to store Pantry items, and more,
in "a former-Chef's- new-Kitchen" in Southern-Europa.
I've had this Kindle case for awhile now. Time for a new one. Thank you in advance for all your views, favs, and comments. HMM
A bolt is a form of threaded fastener with an external male thread. Bolts are thus closely related to, and often confused with, screws.
The distinction between a bolt and a screw is unclear and commonly misunderstood. There are several practical differences, but most have some degree of overlap between bolts and screws.
The defining distinction, per Machinery's Handbook,[2] is in their intended purpose: Bolts are for the assembly of two unthreaded components, with the aid of a nut. Screws in contrast are used with components, at least one of which contains its own internal thread, which even may be formed by the installation of the screw itself. Many threaded fasteners can be described as either screws or bolts, depending on how they are used.
Bolts are often used to make a bolted joint. This is a combination of the nut applying an axial clamping force and also the shank of the bolt acting as a dowel, pinning the joint against sideways shear forces. For this reason, many bolts have a plain unthreaded shank as this makes for a better, stronger dowel. The presence of the unthreaded shank has often been given as characteristic of bolts vs. screws, but this is incidental to its use, rather than defining.
Where a fastener forms its own thread in the component being fastened, it is called a screw. This is most obviously so when the thread is tapered (i.e. traditional wood screws), precluding the use of a nut, or when a sheet metal screw or other thread-forming screw is used.
A screw must always be turned to assemble the joint. Many bolts are held fixed in place during assembly, either by a tool or by a design of non-rotating bolt, such as a carriage bolt, and only the corresponding nut is turned.

A screw, or bolt, is a type of fastener characterized by a helical ridge, known as an external thread or just thread, wrapped around a cylinder. Some screw threads are designed to mate with a complementary thread, known as an internal thread, often in the form of a nut or an object that has the internal thread formed into it. Other screw threads are designed to cut a helical groove in a softer material as the screw is inserted. The most common uses of screws are to hold objects together and to position objects.
Often screws have a head, which is a specially formed section on one end of the screw that allows it to be turned, or driven. Common tools for driving screws include screwdrivers and wrenches. The head is usually larger than the body of the screw, which keeps the screw from being driven deeper than the length of the screw and to provide a bearing surface. There are exceptions; for instance, carriage bolts have a domed head that is not designed to be driven; set screws have a head smaller than the outer diameter of the screw; and J-bolts do not have a head and are not designed to be driven. The cylindrical portion of the screw from the underside of the head to the tip is known as the shank; it may be fully threaded or partially threaded.
The majority of screws are tightened by clockwise rotation, which is termed a right-hand thread. Screws with left-hand threads are used in exceptional cases. For example, when the screw will be subject to anticlockwise forces (which would work to undo a right-hand thread), a left-hand-threaded screw would be an appropriate choice.
