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.

They also say it only supports up to 27" and it looks like Massdrop tested it with larger monitors and it worked without issue.
That is true that is what they have listed on their site. However if you check the drop page we shot this arm with two LG 29" Ultra Widescreen monitors they weigh 14lbs each and this arm had no problem supporting them. In fact after the photo shoot I placed a LG 34" Ultrawide on one arm and the LG 29" Ultrawide on the other and still worked with no issues. As you can see here https://www.massdrop.com/buy/kanto-dmg1000-single-monitor-arm The single arm is shown with the LG 34" 18lbs monitor. The dual arms are the same as the single. The manufacturers always play it on the safe side and most arms can support almost twice the weight that they advertise they are capable of.
