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]

Neat-lookin'! Do the mechanicals do anything, or are they entirely decorative?

It goes without saying that this is by far a unique and delicately well put together piece of artwork. I have witnessed countless others formulate and attempt sublime creative expressions utilizing the USB as a "medium", yet until now have I been unable to find *one* exabyte of data to describe the actual *feeling* that this image actually *invoked* in me when it first appeared on the screen. It's *clever* design coupled with the fact that you've managed to house the adapter and then (solder? I'm thinking you'd have to solder..) the illumination functionality directly to the teeny-tiny circuit board shows true perfectionism in you, your work, and your abilities and I look forward to your next revelation.
