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...

Grain of salt. http://www.amazon.com/Single-Monitor-Desktop-Deluxe-STAND-V001B/dp/B00EQ7HTG6
Edit - from Newegg review
Cons: Will not support a Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP 24" monitor.
No listed weight limit on the newegg store. (I took a screenshot as proof - but review policies prevent the link). The listing says "Holds screens up to 24" in size " but a better spec would be "up to 11 lbs" as it is weight, not size that sets the limit of the arm. The package the stand came in says 11lbs is the maximum.
The Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP 24" is listed as 14.1 lbs. and is too heavy for the stand. The monitor would slowly sink down to the desk. (read other thoughts for the workaround)
Other Thoughts: I realized that the way the mount is designed it allows for extra strength by using pressure to keep the upper and lower interlocking halves on the arm from spreading. Three rubber bands around the arm and the stand is now able to hold up the 14.1 lb monitor.
