For a photographer its normal to have parts of the equipment on the desk, perfect for the Macro Monday theme, Desk or on m my desk.
This plug-in cylinder lock is a compact and secure locking mechanism commonly used in cabinets, safes, and industrial security systems. It features a precise keyhole design, ensuring only correctly shaped keys can operate the lock. The lock's robust metal body is durable and resistant to tampering, showcasing advancements in mechanical security. The macro shot highlights the intricate craftsmanship of the lock core and the smooth keyway, which houses pin tumblers for enhanced security. Ideal for both modern and classic locking systems, it remains a staple in the locksmith industry.

Photographic equipment, it doesn’t matter what bit of equipment it is, but it must be made for and used in the taking of pictures. This are part the rules for this week Macro Monday’s theme.
So as a photographer owning more than one macro lens, I also need a tripod head. The selection of tripod head, this is a like a Heisenberg's indeterminacy principle or uncertainty principle, you cannot have fast, precise, stable and small at the same time. And do make it even more complex put in the price and how long you can keep it. Ever tried one of this geared heads, the take forever to set and are initially just off.
To make a long story short, at home I use a tripod with an Aractech GP ball head, fast and stable, for small final adjustment a Leo photo G2 Geared panning clamp, and if some more adjustment range is needed a Novoflex focusing rack CASTEL-Q. Happy Macro Mondays, HMM.

This is a very early example of a lathe made by Richard Roberts of Manchester.
In 1816, after two years working with Henry Maudsley, Roberts moved to Manchester and established his own business. he had learned the importance of accuracy from Maudsley and took to his to new levels with his own machine tools.
Roberts was a highly-inventive engineer and inventor who led the way for production and precise engineering. He built a wide range of machine tools and also pioneered standard gauges. His designs contributed significantly to the process of mechanisation and his machine tools helped the growth of factories, the textile industry and the railways.
Lathes rotate a piece of metal or wood so that it can be shaped by a cutting tool. This lathe, powered by a foot-operated pedal, could work larger pieces of metal at greater speeds and with greater accuracy than ever before.
Lathes are the first recorded machine tools. Being able to make machine tools meant being able to make parts for other machines. Manchester led the world in creating machine tools by the mid-19th century.
This example is typical of Roberts' thoughtful approach to machine construction and is designed for turning shafts or similar components. Its remarkable solidity ensured accuracy under load.
Despite being considered a pioneer of modern mechanical mechanisms he lacked business sense and Roberts died in poverty.
Seen in the Making the Modern World Hall at the Science Museum, South Kensington.
The image showcases two symmetrical tuck locks with exposed keyholes, emphasizing their robust and practical design. These locks are often used in secure containers, cabinets, and industrial systems where reliable mechanical security is paramount. Featuring intricate metal keyways and lock cores, they employ precision engineering to ensure high resistance against tampering and unauthorized access. The close-up view highlights the fine craftsmanship and durability of these lock mechanisms, demonstrating their essential role in safeguarding valuable items.

For the Macro Mondays group theme 'Holes'...
Holes within holes... These components drove me nuts when I had to clean hundreds of the things in batches, by plugging them into the holes in the cleaning basket to keep them upright...

The Veritas Router Plane,
one of my favourite tools, it can do housing dado joints, clean up tenons, lap joints, rebates, be used as a marking gauge and cut grooves all without the noise of the power router.

Have been MIA from Fickr of late, mainly due to pressures of work...
Shouldn't complain as so many businesses have crashed and burned in the recession, but ours is so busy that I don't have time to enjoy photography as I used to! These are the little suckers that occupy a good bit of my daily time lately. They are a small part of one particular monthly assembly I do in the hundreds...
