Bolts
I have often said that I could publish a full book based on a simple bolt. Bolts have turned me on for a long time with their elegant threads, their pretty hex heads (my favorites!), and their free spinning washers! Neither color or light is affecting them, nor water or air: whatever, imperturbable, they lock! Nothing gets away from bolts. Washers and nuts are their accomplices. Together and inseparable, they hold tight, they assemble, and like a predator, they lock their victim through pressure, until suffocation. Ô rude and powerful they look! Ô careless and totaly mechanical they stand! I love the simple and so efficient screw driving action that lead to this permanent locking: one turn, two turns and that is it: all tight! In the darkness of your DIY boxes you stand: silent while ready for action. Ready to assemble you are: it is your dedication, and you do it right. But do not forget that without a spanner you are harmless.
