Hello you all,

This is my first instructable, and I'm from Holland, so be gentle with me.
With that out, it seems a standard part of every ible...

What we will be making in this instructable is a USB Stick Hub Mint Box, I named it that because well... There are four USB Sticks, a USB Hub, and it sits in an Mint Box.
It's actually pretty self explanatory...

Then also this, I'm not responsible for any damage, wether it be you burn your fingers with a soldering iron, or you lost the data on your USB drives... So don't try it if you don't know what you're doing!
And: Always BACKUP!!!

So, let's get started!

Step 1: What you will need

Well, you will need this:
1.) A mint box (this one is plastic on the bottom half, if you hav one thats fully metal, you will have to insulate it)
2.) A small USB Hub, I suggest one from TOMTOP shop on ebay, they are easy to take apart, I didn't even need a screwdriver
3.) Multiple USB Sticks, one would be pretty useless (don't use too big ones)
4.) A piece of thelephone wiring, the kind with 4 strands
5.) Double sided tape and/or hot glue

Make sure the electronics fit, without their casings, in the mint box.
I would recommend a hub with only four outputs, unless your box can hold more USB Sticks.

And you need to be able to do this:
1.) Use your mind, I can't describe every possible scenario you help yourself into...
2.) Solder, USB Sticks and Hubs are very little devices, so you need to, atleast, have some knowledge about soldering.
3.) Strip wire
4.) Use a hot glue gun
5.) Etc, that meaning all other things to make your products fit your plan!
