How to Make the Perfect Flash Drive Holder with Proxxon Tools

 This flash drive holder is a great addition for organizing your computer workspace.

Supplies and Equipment

• ½" or ¾" hardwood blank 3½" to 6" in length, depending on the size holder you select
• Wood oil
• Proxxon MICRO Bandsaw MBS/E
• Proxxon Delta Sander
• Proxxon MICRO Mill MF 70
• Flash Drive Holder Template

Instructions for making the Flash Drive Holder

1. Print the template and select the size holder you want.
   
   
   
2. Mount your template on the blank. Cover one side of the blank with painter's tape. Mist the back side of the pattern with spray adhesive, and mount on the taped blank. The painter's tape makes removal of the pattern easy without leaving any sticky residue.
   
   
   
3. Cut out the exterior of the template on the bandsaw. The extra narrow scroll saw blade makes cutting on the bandsaw almost like using a scroll saw. Alternatively, you could use the Proxxon Scroll Saw DS 460.
   
   
   
4. Use the MICRO Mill to cut the slots for the flash drives.
   
   
   
5. Sand all surfaces with the Delta sander, using progressively finer grits of sandpaper.
   
   
   
6. Finish with wood oil.
