These components were machined from perspex for an acoustics company, but were damaged during machining...
I sneaked them home and set them to work as models for the evening instead.
Some eejit failed to spot an unfinished component, and cheerily added the duffer in with the rest...
No - it WASN'T me!!!
I pinched this from work for my picture of the day...
This was a test piece machined from a block of plastic, rather than mess up the very expensive piece of copper that it should be made from.
Pretty huh?
(They hate it when I call their engineering stuff 'pretty'...)
Had to work late tonight to 'babysit' a colleague whilst he did overtime in the workshop...
I took the opportunity to shoot a couple of pictures of my usual working environment in an unusual light - I don't normally work at night! Things look different in the dark...
People often ask me what I do for a living. I reply that I work in precision engineering, at which point, they go "Ooh! That sounds interesting!"
It's not. It's repetitive and mind-numbingly tedious, hence my somewhat obsessive-compulsive methods of keeping myself amused whilst working...
These little beauties have been giving me riveting entertainment all day.

As part of our Big Shake-Up at work, the systems guys spent all day sorting out the machine collets.
How terribly exciting for them...
Don't ask me what these are - I just saw them on the inspection bench at work, ready to be sent out to a client!

Well - I assembled them, at least! Sometimes precision engineering isn't always dull - not when you can get arty with the day's achievements!
Had to take some photos for work today, to demonstrate the 'bloom' that has appeared on some components after outside treatments...
It wasn't until I uploaded them to my computer tonight that I saw the pretty effect the lights had had on the surface!
Rather snazzy, innit?
Witness the Birth of the New Wave: the transformation of marine life into a digital format for the next phase of existence.

These little beauties have been giving me riveting entertainment all day. Incidentally, the finished piece comprises 14 components, and is barely an inch long...

I worked late and completely forgot about taking a 365 shot...
This was the only thing on my camera from the day - a quick snap of a selection of components in our display cabinet at work. I really need to do a proper shoot of some of our samples so we have a stock of images for use on the company website. Some of my images are already in use on there, which is rather pleasing...
As if these aren't bad enough to assemble, I finish this stage, only to be informed by the client that they've changed their mind, and would like them made as left-handed versions instead...
We're having new systems and procedures put in place at work at the moment...
As part of this new regime, auditors are coming in and sifting through years of accumulated junk, and red-tagging dubious artifacts which are placed in a holding area pending appraisal.
It's not advisable to stand still in one place for very long. This is definitely one of those days when I feel surplus to requirements and left on the shelf...
