Phantom Scroller Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I had a spares USB memory stick and thought I'd have a go at making a case for it instructions as follows. 1. Get USB memory stick and measure for piece of wood 2. Get piece of wood in my case light walnut, place usb on it and draw around. 3. Drill and Scrollsaw out hole for usb to fit and sand as necessary. 4. Cut base for case in my case mahogany and glue into place. 5. Cut and sand base to fit side when glue sets. 6. Do NO.4 again but for top piece glue into place and make sure you mark where the lid needs to be cut. 7. You should now have a sealed box so sand to shape. 8. Cut off lid top where you marked it and you have two parts one for lid and one for bottom. 9 Glue in both parts of USB stick I glued lid first waited to dry then put bottom half into lid and push into base and glued. 10. Spray varnish job done this is my first ever with a wood burnt name. Roly lawson56 and Luperez548 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Your right DW you could do that, you could also do some scrollwork pattern or name on it before you stick the top on and a bit of black paper behind the design, loads of possibilities with different shapes and woods only limited to your imagination I think and I THINK A LOT.

Ron Johnson Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hi Roly I like what you've done and the idea. Great way to use up odd pieces of wood left over from other projects. Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 As soon as I saw the heading USB Stick I knew it would say Phantom Scroller underneath. Because you are always the one that comes up with the unique items. And that sir is no exception. Well done. Marg Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
