Description
So this is my third mechanical Flash/Memory key & probably, in my opinion, my most successful so far.It has however taken an age to finish (approx 10-12 hours) mainly due to the detail and having to harvest the pieces from the watches myself - I think I probably used parts from around 6 different pocket watches (from brand new ones to watches over 100 years old). The key is made out of purple heart & has approximately 26 Ruby's which look great when the key catches the light, & when the Keys plugged into a USB, it glows green from underneath the gears giving the key a good sense of movement.
Please note the gears on this key do not actually move.
This piece has sold but I have others available in my shop or can be ordered on commission.

I've seen this image before. I have it saved in my folder for interesting flash drives. I am skeptical that this is your work. I apologize if i am wrong but i am still very skeptical.

indeed I just noticed this. I was under the impression that daily deviations were submitted a day before their dd status was given.

That is the coolest flash drive ever. It looks steampunk and it's 16GB. Way better than my cheep, purple one GB stick.

This is absolutely beautiful. Puts my steampunk mouse to shame, for sure. Where do you get screwdrivers that small to handle those parts? I never managed to find any.

Amazing! I constantly misplace my USBs. I would probably shoot myself if I lost this.
