While looking at tools in my tool box, the end of this mini portable dog bone shape torque hexagon wrench reminded me of E.T., the movie. The caption of this image here is a quote from the movie, slightly modified! ('school' changed to 'hand tool')
Shot with an old 50mm Nikon lens on Nikon D800. To achieve the magnification seen here, 12mm + 20mm extension tubes were attached between the lens and the camera. Colors/tones enhanced in Lightroom, then cropped and saved as JPG file in Photoshop.
Two inexpensive speedlight-clones were used to light this subject. Both on TTL, reflected off of white foam core boards, camera left and right, no more than a foot away, were illuminating this end of the tool. The flashes were triggered by on-camera flash in commander mode.

# HAND TOOL
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.

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.

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.

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.

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