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.

A feature you may not know is that it pops apart into pieces; the light bar and the main part of the light structure snap together, the lamp pops into the table clamp, and the power cord pops into the connector near the base. I actually keep it in a plastic artist tube intended for transporting rolled drawings. The only addition I made was to purchase a pipe insulation sleeve that I cut to the length of the light bar so I don’t have to worry about it getting scratched or broken.
the Daylight company is very responsive to service inquiries as well. I damaged the power cord to my wafer light,a and was at a loss as to determining how to replace it. After I confirmed the serial numbers and purchase, the sent me a replacement free!
