@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.

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.

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.

Well done, I like the light mixture. It makes for interesting tones, & highlights the shadow detail. Well seen!
