I know, I know, I'm flooding the forum with macro-shots, but I just spent money on the new lens and I'm going to use the shit out of it. 
Anyway, until my creative juices get flowing and think of some awesome stuff to take pictures of, I'll start by posting some gun stuff because I have access to a slew of dirty, disgusting and neglected firearms, and the ones I will show you, are no exceptions.
Smith and Wesson Revolver: Trigger and Cylinder Index with spring.
Smith and Wesson Revolver: Hammer Strut and Mainspring.
The next time you shoot a Smith and Wesson wheelgun and you cock the hammer back to the single action position, just think, the only thing holding that hammer back is a sliver of metal on the trigger inside a hair thin recess.
Smith and Wesson: Trigger Seat and Hammer
Alternatively, a Colt Revolver's sear. Same thing, except a lot more engagement.
Colt Hammer Strut and Mainspring.
Microwelds.
Also, for laughs, I made this:
I call it the Lowpod. It's a very very low camera mount that I machined in my shop to hold the camera perfectly steady on my desk while I take these pictures. A tripod would help, but can become extremely cumbersome at points, which I also found out tonight.
