@Illuci: You are welcome! I went to work with my husband and wandered around the workshop - when I saw the drill and shavings I thought it would make an interesting shot. It was like it was set up to be photographed!

Your Right Ina, it was meant to be photographed. Maybe it's a guy thing but I like pictures of tools and craftmanship. Nice colors and composition. Well suited to the quote. Have a great weekend.

@Shades of Mandee: Thanks again Mandee! I realy appreciate your comments and visits. It will be nice to see you back again!
what a macro! perfect deep of field and beautiful colors Even if most of the time centering is a drawback, I think for the one it is perfect.

@Laurent: Thanks Laurent!
In further explanation of my cryptic comment, I meant that there is already a deeper hole with a smaller diameter than the drill bit in the photo, and that the bit in the photo was the second one used to make the "flange" for the previously drilled hole. It was also a rather feeble play on words --joke-- that the hole was "bitten" by the second drill.

Miraculous effect of hardness conquered by precise power!
