Step 1Step 1 Gather Materials

Step 1 Gather Materials

USB Jump drive-  (any size will do but go for a larger capacity if you want to store an operating system like I do).

Old Pager-   If you are old enough you probably have one stashed in a drawer somewhere if not check thrift stores or flea markets. They can usually be acquired for next to nothing.

USB Extension cable

Screwdriver, Dremel or some other cutting/grinding tools

Glue, Hot Glue, foam mounting tape.
