This is a conveyor from a lathe that is used to carry the metal turning from the lathe. The metal shavings are curled and the blue color on some is from the heat of turning. Wood is also cut on a lathe and these turning occur there also.
This picture is showing the bin and part of the lathe.
I hope you had fun.

Oh my gosh, I feel so special! I can't believe I figured it out on my first guess! Thanks, Fishing Guy, that was fun!!

Oh, great mystery pic! I never would have gotten it! Bravo, Aunt B!!!
I might just have had a chance of this one if I had not been off my feet the last day or two ;o).. do you call these shavings SWARF like our metal shops do?
Tom: No, I never heard of swarf. We just call it turnings or chips. We do recycle them to metal salvage.
Mike said that it looks to him like the part left over after they make screws..(wink)
Love the comment above..
Oh dear. I am too late but I was correct! LOL!
