During the MakerFaire Hannover 2017 a young Steampunk visited the booth of the Arduino Group Hannover together with his father. He was very interested in the USB sticks. After only two days I got an email. He sent me a link to a video, in which he showed the building of a stick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17N00bFfupE.

Fantastic work, Marc!

Someone has stolen my instructable! Stolen Instructable. Any possibility to hit this person?

Edit: meanwhile (2014-02-19) the stolen instructable seems to be deleted. Thanks to all who supported me!

You will find the original Instructable here: Original Instructable.

My USB stick Instructable is “featured”. It is shown on the Technology main page. I didn’t expect, that it is so popular.

Today I created my first http://www.instructables.com/id/YASUS-Yet-Another-Steampunk-USB-Stick/. It was more work than expected, especially the preparation of the photos. Then I reloaded the page every 15 minutes to see the growing number of views.

Finally I found the time to work again on the third USB stick in steampunk design. After my friend Remington Brass created brass rings, I attached them to the stick to hide the ugly edges of the leather inlay:

A friend (Remington Brass) has turned two brass rings, which I need for the third USB stick in steampunk design. I hope I will finish it this weekend or the next.

The glass lens is a light blue one, but the red LED of the stick is strong enough to outshine this.

One year ago I started to dive into Steampunk. My first Steampunk gadget was a USB stick. A part of a copper tube (18 mm diameter) and two end caps gives the following.

Looks a little boring, so I prepared some decoration:

And here is the result:
