Photoshop also used to clean a single area of the image with clone stamp tool.
The soldering iron again; no solder was used this time around to generate smoke.
I originally worked on a different idea using matches and some rancid olive oil from a long-neglected bottle, but I couldn't get a long-lasting smoke trail, much less one I could get to respond to the fume exhaust over my workbench. Out of frustration, I decided to use the iron, using the oil for smoke generation.
Yes, I replaced the tip after the photoshoot. I'm not convinced olive oil, whether fresh or eight years past its best-by date, is an acceptable soldering flux.
Macro Mondays: Tool
Smurferella is 6 cm long from bucket to broom, and 6 cm tall from feet to smurf hat.
I hope cleaning tools are included in the theme?
The business end of a small carbon fiber brush for cleaning a phonograph stylus (needle) as safely as possible. The bristle cluster itself is ¼ inch (6mm) diameter; the overall length of the brush is just under 2⅜" (exactly 58mm) long.
The very fine-bristled brush, when used correctly, is a lot easier on the stylus and the fragile cantilever (stylus support arm) of a modern cartridge than the time-worn tactic of using your index finger to knock those little dust bunnies off the needle. Of course, keeping records clean minimizes the likelihood of those bunnies multiplying ;).
This is a small multi tool that I won in a Christmas cracker once upon a time - without a doubt the most useful thing that ever came out of a cracker. For Macro Mondays 'Tool' theme.
Does loads of stuff. Finger nipping useful.
Many thanks for all views and fav's - particularly comments!
All are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
An old hand or "eggbeater" drill. Still use in occasionally for fun and as a reminder of how everything took so much longer back then.
Surprisingly they are still available...
Three years ago I published an image like this under the title Incubus. This was the text going with it:
"This is the tool, a pitchfork, that the man who wishes to be the British Prime Minister wants to use in order to drive out the "great incubus", namely the European Union. Words matter. "Incubus" is a term taken from religious language. It describes the Devil entering you sexually. When Mr Boris Johnson conjures up the scenario of the EU f...g the UK from behind and that he would "pitchfork" it off the back of the British people [BBC interview, 24/6/19] you know what you have to expect. You have been warned."
Today, Mr Johnson resigned from office. His incompetence and dishonesty caused great damage inside and outside of the UK. Those who supported him and swept him into power have to ask themselves how they are going to regain credibility.
Crazy Tuesday theme: “Tools”
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated.😊
Macro: Tool
This Pentax bellows set was purchased in Thailand while I was stationed there in 1972 (USAF). At some point in the early 80’s a friend milled out the Pentax screw threads and machined a Nikon bayonet mount into what was left. He used an indexing rotary table on a Bridgeport vertical mill (a really talented guy).
I have been using it on occasion for over 50 years. The Spotmatic II that I bought it for lasted about 7 or 8 years.

Todays challenge for the daily shoot was, What tools do you use and appreciate on a daily basis? Make an interesting photo of one such tool today.
Well I considered taking a shot of some of the tools out of my toolbox I keep in my office, but then thought about it, there really for decoration as I do not do hands on tech work any more so when I thought about it I had to get a shot of these, Not sure I appreciate the blackberry, but I am addicted to it and would be lost without my android Nexus one cellphone
Of course beingme I slipped in a little bit of reflection
Update on Dr's visit, it went well, not likely i will need surgery, it sees the problem is something I have had all my life, basically my knees are deformed and my knee cap doesnt sit where it should, so I start on Physical therapy on Monday twice a week for 6 weeks which hopefully will alleviate or ease the issues I have had
Hand Tool is the theme for Macro Monday. This multi-purpose tool resting on my bike handle bar. I go nowwhere without. Numerous size wrench's 2 screw driver bits and 4 allan keys which is all I need to repair bike when need be. Happy Macro Monday all. (;-D

Another of the few shots I stole at the studio, during the short visit I paid to Gigi this year. Due to various commitments that had been keeping my mind busy during my stay in Europe, not lastly also an elbow inflammation that was giving me problems in handling my cameras, I did not have plan to shot this time. However, resisting the call of the photographic wild for a concert and event photographer, which is used to exploit any situation, was impossible to ignore. Particularly with such a beautiful muse.
For Crazy Tuesday!, I went investigating in our very messy tool drawer and found this mini "sculpture". It had created itself around a random magnet. I just clamped onto it with a well-worn wrench, and voila! (Background is a sateen coat of mine.)
