Question

Something for the Weekend - Part 198 - Spanner in the works!

  • September 29, 2023

We had some great images and interpretations of our last Loch Ness challenge. Thanks to all who took part.

 

This week, rather than a scene, we have a spanner, or wrench for those on the western side of the atlantic ocean.

 

How creative you can get with this spanner?

 

The “rules”:

  • Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
  • Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.
  • Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”.
  • There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
  • The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only. Sorry to emphasize this, but the image is not for use elsewhere.

 

To download the image below, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right.

Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

 

 

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun!

 

Dave

Jacob,

Loved your reply. Spot on. 😂😂

 

Actually, it just so happened on this Saturday, I sent my husband up to our local Ace Hardware to match a hex nut to an existing bolt for a home repair.

 

The final image concept was from 2 images.

No AI used.

Not ready to download any Adobe beta apps.

Every workshop has something like this on the wall.  Unfortunately there is always someone who ignores the warning.  I have seen large hammers fly across the workshop. The same person left hanging with the gantry crane hooked into the army webbing belt he wore outside his overalls — and no one was brave enough to let him down. (Both incidents happened in the 70s)

A challenge within a challenge! I came up with two possible answers. I'll not put them here though. Maybe you can tell us the solution later in the week when others have had a go.

Most of my wrenches aren't metric.

Haha! I still have some non-metric spanners and sockets, but rarely find a use for them these days.

For when your nuts are really tight

(I'm sorry I got torqued into it)

and Friday rolls around and yes it'll be a big wrench but we'll have to think castles now 😉

Best regards, Euan.

Thanks for getting us started Euan. If that long spanner doesn't work then we might need a bit of heat from Trevor's fire breathing Loch Ness monster in teh last SFTW 🙂
