For a while now I have been wanting to make a USB device that I could use as a cold storage for my Steemit passwords. It soon dawned on me that I want to store the information both on paper and digitally on USB.
After making some research of how documents have been preserved and stored throughout history, I read about the scroll box. I was inspired right away and wanted to make a modern twist to it.
I chose to make the overall piece in wood, and I wanted the box to be bigger than your average USB device since I want it to feel more physical and reliable and less easy to lose.
The wood I chose is cherry wood as it's solid and durable as well as beautiful. The Steem logo has an inlay with chrome detailing.
So let's open the box and check inside.
The inside has a carved out O shape that can fit the rolled up paper which you have printed the passwords on. Inside of this ring holds the USB device.
The USB device is very small and light so it's easy to attach to any digital divice.
The paper will be kept dry and safe inside the wooden container, and the dark will keep the print from fading.
Here is an overall image of the device so it can be seen very clearly. I like this design because I think our treasured Steemit passwords should be stored in a good reliable place. I'm gonna make a prototype of it as soon as I move back to Sweden and I will see how the design will look and work in real life.
Please let me know your feedback of what you think of the design ? Do you have any ideas of improvement or other suggestions ?
