Micro mystery

Last week I wrote about safety, and I got a lot of responses via both the comments section of the post and email.

In the column last week, I promised to keep things light this week, so I thought I’d send out a micro mystery challenge. We include one of these in each print issue.

These are all fairly common wood shop items, but taken at very close distance. Comment on what you think the items are. I’d be impressed if anyone can get them all.
