The process of creating a flash drive housing "Reactor" do it yourself.

And so, the author faced the task of creating a unique and inimitable body. which before the village did not see the human eye) Therefore, the master decided to combine the atomic theme with steampunk, as a result, a reactor with steam pipelines and valves was obtained.

To begin with, a spherical body is made of sheet copper, a blank in the shape of a circle is cut out and processed here on such a wooden blockhead.The workpiece is placed over the base and the edges of the workpiece are tapped with a hammer.To make the process faster, the master warms up the workpiece with a burner, so the copper becomes softer for a while, until it cools down again. Then the workpiece is placed in a wooden matrix and pressed through a wooden punch.Here is the result.After that, the edges of the workpiece are again tapped with a hammer.The correct form is given.The excess author cuts with scissors for metal.Edges the file so that the surface is completely flat.The second half of the sphere was made in the same way.Trial fitting, everything fits perfectly.Next, 2 parts are soldered together and you get such a ball.Then a hole is drilled in it.The case will be decorated with various riveted elements, the master is engaged in their manufacture.It also gives shape in a wooden mortar.Here they are handsome)The ball was trimmed with riveted elements.
Next, the author proceeds to create the basis for mounting flash cards, for which he takes a brass tube and cuts it to the specified sizes.Makes a kit in the form of steam pipes from brass wire.To crown the design will be a large valve, in the likeness of this.That's actually what happened.From the back.All parts before assembly.The author collects everything in a single design, installs a flash card and connects an LED.And actually what happened in the end.Nobody saw this exactly yet, which actually was the main idea, to create a unique case, which in our time is highly appreciated, and manual labor gives warmth to the product.
