Fasteners for T-slot extruded aluminum framing, used in attaching brackets and accessories to the extrusion. These are only a small sample of the variety of fasteners available to suit various needs.
The fasteners shown here, clockwise from bottom (6 o'clock position): roll-in T-nut with spring leaf, slide-in “economy” T-nut, drop-in T-slot stud, and drop-in T-nut. The economy nut must be slid in through the extrusion end with the understanding it may be impossible to remove later. The remaining three can be fed in through the slots, offering more flexible attachment options.
For size reference purposes, the extrusion profile shown here is 1" (25.4mm) square.

Taken for the "Macro Mondays" theme of 4/7/2025: FASTENER.
A carabiner is a specialised metal link with a spring-loaded gate used to fasten components quickly and reversibly in a number of safety-critical activities such as rock climbing. This is essential when a rope running through the carabiner provides security for a lead climber when protective gear attached to the carabiner is placed in the rock. A screw-gate carabiner, such as the one shown, provides additional security as the gate can be screwed closed so can't open accidentally - this is helpful when a belay device holding the rope is fastened via the carabiner to the harness of the belayer to protect a climber if a fall should occur.
Brian loves rock climbing and heads over to his local craig as often as he can! But it takes every fibre in his muscular body to push open the strong spring-loaded gate of the carabiner. Despite this difficulty, he is very well sought-after as a climbing partner as his natural slime helps him stick to the rock (no chalk required!) so he is unlikely to take a fall.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Fastener'. The carabiner was set up in front of a piece of dark slate to provide a rocky backdrop. The carabiner was too big to be able to show the entire connection between components - this has been cropped to be within the MM size limit.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.

A 4-40 machine screw collection in a mix of head styles and lengths..Each screw is of the same outer diameter (#4, 0.112" or 2.845mm) and thread pitch (40 threads-per-inch density, a pitch of 0.025" or 0.635mm).
I have always taken the North American thread sizing standard for granted, but until I wrote this description, I did not know it had a name: the Unified Thread Standard. Ah, the benefits of research. :)
This is a press stud (I think known as a snap is some parts) on the leather case of my lovely Kodak Retina iic. The press stud is 3/8ths of an inch across and I got it at 3.8x magnification, so it filled the frame. A 38 frame stack made a quite nice image. Then I decided it looked rather like the front end of a older jet engine... so I bit of judicious use of blur, like compressor blades spinning.
A replacement button found on the inside a polo shirt, conveniently attached to the laundering directions tag.
To a fashion perfectionist, this is just as valuable as an automobile’s spare tire in the event a button breaks or somehow goes missing. Like a spare tire, however, it’s no good if you either don’t know how to install one (that is, in this case, to sew) or can’t arrange for someone to do it for you (family, friends, or a professional). Also, like spare tires, not all buttoned clothing comes with courtesy spare buttons.
For the record, depending on where the button is, the garment could still be worn without that spare button, unlike a car with a flat tire, one exception to my spare tire metaphor [compact spares being the other]. A missing button may not pass the perfectionist test, though.
Interestingly, some people, including, as I discovered, one legendary, long-departed executive in the personal computing industry, suffer(ed) from a fear of buttons.
A spoonful of #10 washers (inside diameter 7/32” or 5.5mm). Some invisible force is keeping them from spilling off the spoon held at an angle.

Have a "Happy Macro Monday" 😊
and also a good start into the new week.
Many, many thanks for all your views, faves and comments.
My necklace is kept in place by a couple of jewelled magnets. They are sufficiently strong to require a bit of force to pull apart. HMM everyone
A wingscrew (or wingbolt), basically a thumbscrew with an easier-to-grip wingnut-shaped head.
This fastener is about 1¼" (31.75mm) tall with a ¾" (19.05mm) thread length.
Well, it's me again, you know I like to look at the theme from a different angle.The yoy head (of a dragon) is 1.5 inches long, a length of zip attached (double sided tape) attaches it to the mouth.

For the Macro Mondays challenge “Fasteners” (February 19th 2017)
The latch-hook fastener that holds my bracelet.
Made of silver wire by my great friend Laurie Jane The wire is woven into a traditional pattern, and held in place with a rigid frame. There's a photo of the full bracelet in the first comment field, with a size guide. The portion I shot is about 2" in total.
HMM!
Laurie is a software engineer by day, and a metalsmith in her free time (though she also makes quilts, weaves knits and and sews too!)
Here she describes how to make a "latch-hook"
This is made using double half round wire. First the back end is sawed and spread so each half can be threaded through the 90 degree rotated half round wire that makes up the frame of the bracelet. This end is then annealed and bent to form the ring attachments to the bracelet. The other end is filed to have a rounded end and then it is sanded and polished to smooth. The hook is then bent and formed, having already being annealed, to fit the u-bend of the frame on the other end of the bracelet.

I wonder if anyone even knows what cufflinks are these days - let alone use them? I don't think my husband has used these in decades.
So old it’s rhinestones are falling out :))

I really appreciate your comments and faves. I'm not a hoarder of contacts, but enjoy real-life, honest people. You are much more likely to get my comments and faves in return if you fit the latter description. Just sayin. :oD

There are two fasteners here, the screw and the ball-chain end connector which holds the final ball in the chain.
Total width across the frame is 35mm.
Actually, these are proprietary drywall anchors I didn't use to secure the large hook they came with. Unlike a typical anchor using a separate screw, this anchor combines all the elements into one easy-to-use piece. The problem with this design, as well as similar screw-in anchors which use a separate screw, is that it doesn't hold well, limiting the hook's capacity to a mediocre 20 lbs. (9.07kg).
