When stitching my needlepoint projects, I use a nail clipper instead of scissors. They work well and airport security has no problem with them.

 

Hand tool - Macro Mondays

This weeks Macro Mondays theme is Hand Tool.

 

This is a very close up image of the ball detent on the male end of a 1/4 inch ratchet wrench. The metal ball is housed in a small hole, with a spring that pushes it out toward the surface, where the crimped edge keeps it from falling out. Its purpose is to securely hold a socket in place but still allow the user to remove it without undue effort. If you look closely at the image you can clearly see where the metal on the post has been crimped surrounding the ball. This is one of the more common methods of securing sockets and interchangeable tips in place for modern hand tools. There are several other methods used.

 

This is a very high magnification image. It was taken at 4X on a full frame sensor, with only a small amount of the width cropped off. The edge of the post that you see running from the upper left to the low center of the image is slightly less than 1/4 of an inch long.

 

I was bored so I got creative with the lighting, and used some perforated metal to add some details in the reflections in the chrome.

 

Best viewed large.

 

HMM.

For the Macro Monday theme 'Hand Tools' ... using wire cutters at f/5 and 2 seconds.

 

Happy Macro Monday

Salvaged from a damaged tool,this chuck got a new lease on life as part of a scratch awl. I turned the handle from a blank made from oak and ebony.

Der gute alte Bleistift, gut für Skizzen und Notizen.

Heerlijk thema deze week, want ik hou van gereedschap.

Ik maakte twee series foto's, dat is niet handig want nu moet ik kiezen; plaats ik het opvouwbare schaartje of het schuifmaatje?

Het schaartje vind ik grappiger, het schuifmaatje ziet er professioneler uit.

Wonderful theme this week because I love tools.

I made two series of pictures, which is not very smart because now I have to make a choice, which one to upload; the foldable scissors or the vernier caliper?

I think the scissors are funny, the vernier caliper looks more professional.

Hairbrush with some hair stuck in it. Canon , Lightroom , no special lens macro.

A bit short on time and space this week, I saw this hand tool on the work table, so I shot it under the task light there using my iPhone just a couple hours ago. I've had the pleasure of a career and a lot of personal passions that allow me (encourage me) to use a myriad of hand tools every day. I had two dozen cool tools in mind since reading the theme, but it came down to not enough time to create the shots I was imagining. Oh, well. Hope you like this one. You'll notice it has a wooden HANDle.

The act of running a sharp hand plane along a piece of wood is, at least, meditative.

I recently turned a bamboo chopping board into a magnetic knife rack for the kitchen. To do this, I chiselled out a grove on the back of the board and filled it with Nd magnets. The chisel is sitting on some of the bamboo shavings here. There's something satisfying doing things by hand.

I inherited this Stanley No. 45 Wood Plane from my father who inherited it from his father who was a carpenter. Long before the router was invented, it was used to make moldings and decorative trim for finishing carpentry and furniture.

 

While it hasn't touched a piece of wood in earnest for decades, this Stanley wood plane is a nice piece of family history.

Thanks to Macro Mondays, these multifunction folding mini pliers have finally come in useful!

The #FlickrFriday #HandTools challenge

 

A pair of traditional irons, part of my dear wife's impressive collection of junk which mysteriously tend to feature in FlickrFridays.

 

There are two photos here, window lit, blended within Photoshop. Each is focused on the detail of one of the irons. One formed the background, the other was overlayed and erased as necessary to get a single image of both irons in focus to sidestep that pesky depth of focus thingy. A cluttered background was erased with just some of the wooden tabletop and reflection retained to prevent them apparently floating in mid air. Finally, to reflect the antique nature of the image, it was turned to monochrome

Macro Mondays 2018 redux ( #speckled, #jagged, #HandTool, #LessThanAnInch, #LowKey, #imperfection).

Not one, but two tools! A pair of nail clippers held in place by a tool that has a strong magnet on this end and will telescope out to about 12 inches. It's used to pick up nails, dropped wrenches, or anything metal.
