Introduction: Cork Drive!


The title is pretty self explaining, its a cork with a jump drive in it.

I accidentally sent my 4gb jump drive through the wash a few days ago, and even though the innards are still functional, the case was destroyed. Soooo... I decided to take advantage of the massive amount of corks generated from my families drinking habits.

Step 1: Supplies

For this project you will need;

Materials:
--------------------------
One Wine Cork
One Jump drive (has to be the right size to fit in the cork)
some electrical tape

Tools:
---------------------------
A drill
A big drill bit, maybe 1/2-3/4 of an inch.
Optional pocket knife (A Swiss army knife if you are awesome like MacGyver)

Step 2: Drilling/cutting/getting Injured

Before you do this step, I am not responsible for lost fingers, arms, legs, heads, or any other appendage you decide to chop off.

Continuing on...

You take your drill and cut out a hole large enough to fit the drive in. I was at a lacking for a drill bit of adequate size, so I made a rather ugly hack into it with a pocket knife.

If you haven't already, remove the case on your drive, leaving the chip exposed.

If you like, wrap a small bit of electrical tape around the top of the chip for protection.

Step 3: Tuh-duh!

Slide the drive into the hole. It may be a snug fit, so be careful not to break the chip.

Tuh-Duh!

You are now the proud owner of a Cork Drive!
