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]

A question. Do the cogwheels move when you insert the USB? Because if they do, that would be seriously amazing.
Well, even more seriously amazing xD

Aww man, this is awwwesome.~ What a wonderful idea to turn such a modern thing into.. well.. this.
I was wondering, though, where did you get the cogwheels from? I'm asking because I'm interested in making something out of them myself, but can't find proper wheels..

Awesome, though I fear the problems inherent with moving parts; it's still a very original concept.

Thats totrally amazing. It reminds me of a thing we do in commtech thiis year We go to this factory place and they have a machine that you put 2$-10$ in depending on the gb and you generate a wax design n your usb drive.
But good designs that we design. my commtech teacher did sonic the headgehog 3d'd...

I thought your art was innovative and piratical. Not a very common thing. You could take it one step farther and even add a time piece or a small volt and a half motor to to drive the gears. I believe that most cell phones have a volt and a half motor in them for the vibrate function.
