Step 5Making the slot
Now it's time to make a place for the jump drive itself. Measure the jump drive circuit board precisely to determine how much of the block we need to hollow out. My Cruzer measured approximately 1/4" x 5/8" x 1 5/8".
I measured a 1/4" x 5/8" rectangle on the flat end of the block to see where I would need to drill. Then I put the block into the vise on my drill press and lined up a 1/4" drill bit (convenient, eh?). I made the first hole at the edge of my rectangle, drilling 1 5/8" down into the wood by using the depth scale on the press (pic 4). The rest of the shell may be emptied out by drilling again and again. You may also smooth out the final product with a file.
This step must also be done with a handheld drill, but I hope you have a steady hand!
