Steampunk USB Pen Drive Storage Contraption Add Video

All Videos > Members Videos « Prev | Next »

An old GENERAL RADIO Co. resistance box is converted to hold multiple pulsing pen drives with light observable through vintage radio vacuum tubes. Room for a 1T hard drive. Prisoner of technology trapped inside. Not difficult to build but finding the parts is. Two pen drives are easily removable. Pen drives must be un-shelled. Sandisk Cruzer drives are the product of choice for this project because they continuously pulse and then flicker when data is accessed and are a quality product of course.

Hi Darmain: Thanks for the tip. Monitor is a stripped Dell LCD and fitted to and old mirror stand I bought at a garage sale for $5. Lots in the junk stores. If you go to a stained glass shop you can buy sticky copper foil to disguise the plastic frame of the monitor. Working on another USB box but maybe do a monitor stand how to video for INSTRUCTABLES.

I bet you've been told this about a million times, but there is a keyboard available out there made of bamboo. It looks wooden, and could easily be modded to have some brass features and fit in nicely with your beautiful setup there. I love the monitor in particular. very jealous!

The baby doll is a little creepy, but it's beautiful. I love the music!
