Making A Wooden USB

- Took apart an old USB drive and gave it a wooden makeover.
This is a pretty simple project and one of the many ways you can do this to a USB. And no, the magnet does not affect the USB in any way.

I love the magnetic cover, great idea, nice work.
+Ben Brandt Thank you!
Love the beveled edges! More videos please, loved your custom tablesaw series.
Nicely done. I especially liked the magnet.
This is insanely well made and looks awesome at the end!
Nice video, great idea. My favorite part? The sanding bit!!! I love the fast motion with the sound effect! Yeah!!!!
Simple concept, awesome execution. I like the technique of hanging the small USB by tape/rope to allow 360 spraying. I'll be stealing that technique. Also, nice job combining the woodworking project with laser engraving technology.
its look amazing.. Awesome ... I became addicted to the works made of wood , and this pendrive recycling is great. Great idea to put a magnet on the top!
Thanks!
You are a gifted guy, no doubt about that! I'd like to get my hands on that awesome USB drive. Love your videos

Nicely done. I like the magnet in the cap.
Very nice! The magnet inside the lid was a great idea.
Had one for 4 years. Still works.
The magnet probably needs to be a fair bit stronger. Don't forget that hdd's have small magnets in them as well.
Al B HDDs have very strong, 1"x1.5" magnets! 😆 (3.5" sized drive, in this case)
I let my daughter disassemble a dead drive the other day and showed her how strong they were.
Well if they're as strong as you suggest then the tiny fields generated by the magnet he placed inside his wooden usb cover would be puny and couldn't possibly cause any damage.
loved your work. well done!
To everybody worrying about the magnet, here are some reasons you have nothing to worry about, just like the video and description says :
1. USBs have flash memory, which has nothing magnetic about it, so it cannot be corrupted by magnets.
2. Even if it were corruptible by magnets, anything but a very strong neodymium type magnet would do nothing to it.
3. Making it even safer is that the magnet is in the cap. It's not rubbing around over the thing and it's nowhere close when the USB is being written to.
4. Everyday technology is at the point where magnets are even being used inside the machines for menial tasks. This means the items have been designed to be more resilient against the magnetic fields. I mean we use little magnet stickers on the backs of our phones these days without any problems (be aware the internal compasses and even cameras, from what i've heard, can be negatively affected by magnets).
Conclusion: Your USB is MUCH more likely to get corrupted due to a software error than the weak magnet used in the cap. Just stay away from the strongest magnets on earth, to be really extra super safe ;)
Sources: Knowledge and Google. You can use the latter too.
Fantastic, great work!
I essentially do this to all of my usb sticks.. Love how wood looks.
Very nice, especially the magnet idea. I looks quite good. pierre from New Mexico
THIS LOOKS AMAZING!
thank you! :)
Great work!
So awesome!!! Great video!!
MAGNIFIC!
that gap between the cap and the usb is so unsettling.
I actually like that, so u clearly see which end is the cap and also just looks Nice in my opinion. lmao
Fantastic job thanks
Super perfect work
So cool. Beautiful work 😊👍👌✌️
Looks good👍
Nice Job I love this idea
Well, they look nice, but I do not use wooden USB's anymore. I once was working in a wood shop and searched for it, when my chief told me he had unsuspiciously taken "a piece of wood" as a filler for a gap in a worn out vintage table which was about to be shipped to the customer... and there was not just porn on it!
That's what happens to those that bring porn drives to work and don't look after it :P
Al B I said, there was not just porn on it xD :,
Irrespective of work files present xD

LOL
Nice work. I have built and uploaded a wooden usb stick from maple and oak. But I did not saw the middle part. I milled it.
good work~
"How (not) to use bandsaw" 😂
Great work
Michele Pizzolante lol
wow, this is so nice.
Mr Wood would be proud
Very good.
great work
Great work! I don't have a chainsaw table, what could you recommend to use?
good job man
Why am I seeing a lot of people commenting that magnets spoil the pendrive, or electronics? Since magnets have no effect on most devices, the only devices I know that are defective with the presence of magnets are HDs (because their storage method is made through magnetism) and bussulas (whether electronic or analog)
truly you had a lot patience for Making A Wooden USB :D
loved it keep it up
Nice work
good stuff! subscribed!
awesome idea! looks pretty simple to do too! I love your videos!
+Kayley Prebble Thank you!
i love your work
thats realy nice
I like it !
good made man 👌👌👌👌
Good idea
Good video!
Man your good!!!
When the comments section be flipping out about the bandsaw, but guys, he used a pencil when he get within a 1/32 of an inch to the blade. 😂😂
very nice.
I liked it very much
Very Neat !!!
very nice ^^!
Awesome project! I found your channel on creator community, subbed now. Great stuff!
Thanks! :D
Put a magnet at the back of it so the cover attaches to the back too! (Be careful not to erase some memory off the USB drive too!)
well done
Genio total 👏👏👏👏
Electronics and magnets.
Makes me scared.
i thought exactly the same thing ...
Yep.
it is a very small one but still sketchy
has no effect on it, infact a hard drive has a powerful magnet in it .
maybe if it was a 1990s video tape...
Good Idea...
what kind of wood are you useing?
very nice
Very very nice
Awesome for wedding pictures or something like that :D
Alluminium will never have the luxurious look wood has
awesome idea :D
Cheers!
Nice video
do you have your own laser engraver? or do you outsource that?
Un Artiste !
awsm bro
i love it
What laser engraver did you use?
awesome
Nice but now it takes 3 ports on your laptop :/
Worth it! :P

( Macbook pro 2016 )
Yes but look how pretty it is

_hOW DID I FIND YOU HERE_
good afternoon.and that for a tree did you use?
Lovely
I want this😂😍❤
ficou maravilhoso
Nice. Try lowering the audio level during the bandsaw cutting.
my bad!
I have my own Lego USB and it is cool, maybe i will make a wooden USB someday :)
For a normal USB I couldn't care less, it takes space now but it's beautiful, well done.
What wood did you use? It almost looked like it was from a paint stir stick
this is beech wood
Love your videos! Where do you get the laser engraving?
+Robert Peel Thanks! I had to find a local business that does laser engraving to do it for me
I really want one
what magnet did you use?
How do I get a magnet that small??
Wow❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice
USB = Universal Serial Bus
Basically just the bus that transfers data.
But what you've got here is a USB Drive, which uses the USB to send/receive data with the pc
#Pedant
That gap though!
Is it a good idea to have a magnet so close to the usb chip? Some people says it's not. Did you do any research? Anyway it is very nice.
+Karagiann WoodMade Thanks! Magnets have no effect on flash storage, only really strong magnets. The flash storage in the USB isn't actually even in the magnetic field of the magnet, its only the plug that is being attracted to it.
4:18 my new ringtone :D
Hahaha interesting choice
nice
that cap will be lost.
Never!!
Last Minute Thoughts make giveaway for this usb
Sensacional like merecido com certeza
super samo tako
that USB killer (LOL)
What sive wood it this?
Do magnets not effect the memory of the usb?
nope
hm, cool, i ask because i know they affect most screens and stuff
I recently went to the harry potter studio tour in london and i did a thibg where you are sitting on a broom in front of a green screen and they make a vid out of it and then you can buy a usb drive with it for 40 pounds. It looks cool but i want to make something with it, any ideas?
Amazon video bro 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
