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 white monitor arm ! They are just so practical, easy to place and adjust according to your liking. I thought it was going to be an item I would not particularly enjoy but I recently moved and kept this tem since they are so practical : saves desk space and can be moved easily.
Do you have any favorite desktop items that would surprise your followers?
A wrist rest ! My first wrist rest was actually a gift I got after getting my first custom keyboard and I have not let it go since. I was not sure if I would like it and it turned out to be super comfortable for my wrists since most of the keyboards I have are a higher profile. I always recommend a resin one since they are soft and stay cool in the summer !
