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.

Example... Price the massdrop EDC 1/3 lower, would consider as a nice option... But at $120 and wait till August... Have to pass.
Note you can search for "Harbor Freight 20% off coupon" and save another 15 bucks off this.
Personally I'm still torn as I really like the MD EDC but don't want synthetic coverings and top. I am convinced MD has an addon piece coming and that would make it even better. But not as synthetic. Sadface.
