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]

I LOVE steampunk! And this is a truly brilliant example! Great, great job. I so wish I had the skill (and imagination!) to create something as marvellous as this! Well-deserved DD!

This looks so cool- it's like the flashdrive Jules Verne or H.G. Wells would use

You could probably make a tidy profit creating a set of this for some folk. If I had the money, and maybe I will in the future.. I'd absolutely love an entire computer to match something so positively rockin'.
