Very simple but useful project for the computer geek in your family. If you are an avid computer user you probably have a small collection of thumb drives. I use them for system backups, easy file transfer to other computers, to store portable software utilities and more.
If you have some small scraps of wood left over from another project this is a good project for it. The holder looks best cut from 1/2" thick wood but you can also use 3/4" if that's all you have. This would also be a good project for Corian or acrylic.
I used small round glue on rubber feet so it will not slide on the desk. Look for these feet in the hardware section of your favorite depart store. I bought mine at Meijers.
When you are cutting the slots it is best to slightly undercut them so you can get a good fit. You want the fit to be between snug and loose. If you cut them snug you can use a small file to work up to a good fit.

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
