Description
This is my first attempt at some new custom computer peripherals. My first try is this hand made 1GB USB Flash drive. As it was a first go (& it was a lot smaller than I'm used to working!) if took me approximately 6hours to complete & works like any other 'plug & play' device, illuminating when its in use. Although its not in the pictured, there is a symmetrical wooden sheath that protects the USB adapter. This will hopefully be the first in many (hopefully more impressive & detailed pieces) So if you like it, keep your eyes peeled. Or if you have any ideas let me know!If you like my work, why not join my Facebook here [link]

Really well done! Would be awesome if the gears could move when you plugged it in! Nice work!

If only the gears were motorized and had a glass/plastic cover on them, then I'd really want this!

So where can a guy like me buy a thing like this?

stupendously thumbs up. what exactly do the mechanical parts do though? in regular human terms, not genius engineer lingo

Love the design, I think a great (probably outside of the concept) addition would be having the gears progress a notch for each blink of the access light.
or not, great work.

This has to be the coolest memory stick I've ever seen. I let out an audible 'Whoa!' when I saw this on the DD. I have to ask, what wood is it made out of?

LOL!!! nah!! just kidding, but I would really like to have one, I will add you to my watch, talk to ya later, bro!!!

Oh wow, such a detailed casing! Wonderful job!
It's a shame it's on such a low memory stick, though |D
I don't know if you're selling this or not, but might I suggest working on a higher-memory thumbdrive? You'd get quite a bit more if it was... say, 8 or 16 gigs, in comparison to the one
BUT YES, amazing handiwork, I love all of the details!

Simply amazing. I can't wait to see what an even more detailed piece is going to look like.
