It is not relevent at all.

I only put it there to confuse you.

Way to go tom.

It's a nail clipper. Would you have gotten it without my last clew?

This one was a toughie (but goodie!)

[SnowManZ]

I'm glad you liked it. It was my first attempt to make a macro mystery.

[Citizensmith]

Good Macro. I had one sitting on my desk right in front of me since I got home and I still didn't have a clue.

[Matoch]

Way to go tom.

I love my 17-70 sigma.

It's the blue color that really had me confused. I thought the blue was actually a part of the item. Good one.

James

[SnowManZ]

I believe it has been 24 hours and tom has still not gone. I will pass on the opportunity to the next person who can come up with one. I have one ready, but I just went.

Unless I am wrong for saying so of course.

[the_incubus]

you should go if you have one ready.

[SnowManZ]

you should go if you have one ready.

If you say so, I don't want to break any rules or anything.
Lets see how easy this one is. It shouldn't be to hard, I don't think.

[SnowManZ]

Sweet. I don't have anything right this second, but if you all want to wait a few hours I'll probably think of something. :)
Reed

[Reed Goodwin]

Wow, what patience. I almost forgot to put something up, but remembered last second. Thanks to a tripod, I have a macro. Lets see what the brilliant minds here on SMGG can come up with while I sleep. Good luck.

[webcrawlur]

a hinge

aluminium (aluminum, alumium) case for a PDA.

[Reed Goodwin]

Kinda sorta, but definitely no.
aluminium (aluminum, alumium) case for a PDA.
Nope.
Reed

[Roy Mathers]

aluminium (aluminum, alumium) case for a PDA.


This is definitely wood!

[Citizensmith]

This is definitely wood!

Funny how different people see things different ways. It still looks like brushed aluminium to me. :) I guess part of it is not knowing the scale you are seeing the textures at.

[Reed Goodwin]

It is metallic...
Reed

[SingingSabre]

Pencil sharpener?

[Jostel]

a gun?

[Lawrie B]

Brass door lock?

[Mom27andblessed]

looks like a public restroom door with the sliding lock

[Reed Goodwin]

All no. Not a lock.
Reed

[BradT0517]

Personally it looks like brushed brass or bronze. I think it is the part of the dooor frame where the latch goes into.

[the_incubus]

some kind of wood carving device?

[Reed Goodwin]

Personally it looks like brushed brass or bronze. I think it is the part of the dooor frame where the latch goes into.
The color is misleading and no it's not part of a door frame.

some kind of wood carving device?
Getting warmer.

Reed

[the_incubus]

a clamp?

[SingingSabre]

Part of a routing machine?

To re-cap what Reed has told us:
- definitely not a hinge, but "kinda sorta" hinge
- not an aluminium case for a PDA
- it is metallic
- not a pencil sharpener
- not a gun
- not a door lock
- it might look like brushed brass or bronze but the colour is misleading
- not part of a door frame
- some kind of wood carving device is "getting warmer"
- not a clamp
- not part of a routing machine
- not a chainsaw blade
- not a wooden plane

[StewartR]

FWIW, I have no idea. I'd have said it was a clamp myself.

[DanteCaspian]

edge of a desk?

[SingingSabre]

Metal carving device? lol

[Reed Goodwin]

edge of a desk?
Nope.

Metal carving device? lol
Hahahaha, not a good idea to carve metal with this thing.

Alrighty, I guess you all could use a hint. It's not a power tool as some have suggested.
Reed

[Reed Goodwin]

Oh, and if it helps, the edges of metal you see are about 1mm thick.
Reed

[Mom27andblessed]

a Zippo Lighter?

[azphotos]

saw

[Mike Bell]

A clock?

A cigarette case?

[Reed Goodwin]

No, nada, zip, and nope.

Haha, nope. I think a slightly larger crop may be in order soon...

This may or may not help... If I post the full image, it'll be cake.

Nice one Reed.

[Reed Goodwin]

Thanks guys! Now Jim....
Reed

[BearLeeAlive]

Hey All.

I zonked out after a posting here last night. Had way too much fun on the long weekend. :)

I am plowing through some stuff to start this work week and will go shoot a macro in the next couple of hours to post.

[BearLeeAlive]

Sorry about the delay, today has been ridiculously busy for me. I will definitely post one in about 4 hours as I must head out to a meeting right now.

If someone would rather post one they have, go ahead, otherwise I will shoot one when I get back.

[BearLeeAlive]

Again, my apologies for the delay, too many major company issues to deal with. This is my worst performance in posting since the beginning of this thread, sorry. :oops:

Anyhoo, the game is on. :)

Notta

Thanks, but wrong answer. :)

[SnowManZ]

[Citizensmith]

part of a paper cutter

[the_incubus]

part of a paper cutter

do you mean scissors? :p

[Citizensmith]

do you mean scissors? :p

Actually I was thinking more of a guillotine or roller blade style cutter. I think the object may be the receiving part the blade goes against. It could be scissors but I'll let you have it if it is. That isn't what I was thinking. :)

Nope, it is not a sharpener at all

[Citizensmith]

Oh, is it a knife bluntener then?

[BearLeeAlive]

Oh, is it a knife bluntener then?
You might think so then...
...but, no. :lol:

It is a device meant to cut though.

[Reed Goodwin]

Wire cutters? Diagonals?
Reed

[BearLeeAlive]

Wire cutters? Diagonals?
Reed
Not wire cutters, but on the right track
Not sure what you mean by diagonals, but I really doubt it. ;)

I will be off to bed fairly soon, but will check if I get up.

[Reed Goodwin]

Diagonals are a form of wire cutters. Oooooo, wire stripper?
Reed

[BearLeeAlive]

Diagonals are a form of wire cutters. Oooooo, wire stripper?

Not wire strippers, nor strippers of any kind.
