Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

I guess the reason doesn't really matter (I'm just the curious type) if the 30-32" monitors will flop around because the torque they exert on the final pivot mount is too great, then this probably isn't the monitor arm for me. I might acquiesce and get a 27", but my eyes really like the 30" CD, and I assume the Benq32" will be even better. I just want to be able to pull it out from against the wall to over my lap at eye level, then push it back out of the way. Maybe I should just rig up a kind of barn door system... Thanks for the inspiring chat! :-)
