Question

I was just wondering if there was a tutorial anywhere on how to make your own USB Flash Drive and I don't mean take apart a USB and put the guts into something else, I mean put together the flash memory and controller.

Your title should be "DIY USB Mass storage tutorial" because you are specifically asking for a tutorial on how make your own flash drive. A question about making your own USB gadgets has been asked a while ago. – bpijls Jan 17 at 14:11

Dean Camera has written a USB stack for the AVR. It includes a mass storage driver.

LUFA is very good. And the AVR USB chips are getting better and better. If you prefer to develop on Linux or OSX, LUFA on an AVR is a good choice. If you're Windows, then look at the PIC development environment. The low-end PIC USB chips have more features and are easier to use than the low-end AVR USB chips, but you really can only develop for them on Windows. – todbot Feb 10 at 17:32

You could base it on this project of mine:

A question about general USB devices was asked a while ago, but you are specifically referring to a USB mass storage device (MSD)

Jan Axelson (from http://www.lvr.com) has written a book about it: http://www.lvr.com/mass_storage.htm
