Nice choice, I'm sure he'll be happy about receiving this.

FML!!!

Was just walking in from outside and tripped, fell and broke it  thats my luck

[cmadrid]

Wow, you okay?  Long as only the wood broke.. it was a nice looking piece of wood tho!

So Bueller's prize is now busted  ?  Can you still glue it back together?

[cmadrid]

I'm sure he'll just make another one...

Im fine, my knee took the weight of the fall.

The piece of split through I could glue it but its better to just make a new piece

Good you didn't damage yourself.  Half of all injuries occur in and around your own home.

Don't worry about bueller, I'm sure he couldn't spot the clear resin glue once it dries.  If you're going to coat the piece then that further helps to cover any 'indescrepencies' that might of happened  .

[tigersharkdude]

New piece has already been cut, ill sand and stain it today.

On that note, would anybody interested in a dual setup for an ErgoDox? How about a headphone stand (Ive been wanting to give this a shot, but I am deaf so I don't have any headphones to try it on)?

Painted the monitor stand black yesterday, it's going to be a few weeks before we go to see my uncle

Hi tigersharkdude,
Will you start selling those monitor stands? and if so, will you make so full sized keyboard will fit?

I may be selling these, Ive shipped one, packed extremely well, and USPS managed to break it -___________- I am working on making a jig to place wood dowels into the pieces to see if it will stay together better in shipping.

I can definitely make one to fit a full size though

what a shame! :( sorry to hear! i hope your new idea will work though! :) that you can make one to fit a full size sounds promising!
I just got a Ducky Premier Green & White PBT dyesub MX Red and wondering if you can by any chance make a Option 1 Wooden Wrist Rest for that keyboard? just need to say that your work is breathtaking!

I could definitely do a combo piece. Give me a few days to see if my idea will work (dowels), if all us good I will be more than happy to make you a setup

a combo of both sounds super great! when i saw this picture: http://i.imgur.com/wFLPi1E.jpg i just wow, i need that!! haha :) Take all the time you need! and once again, your work is absolutely amazing!

Recently I made a wrist rest for JDCarpe (seen below) and I surprised him by making a monitor stand as well and sending him a combo set (pics below), sadly USPS damaged the box and broke one "leg" off of the monitor stand (JDCarpe is currently trying to fix it). Here are some of MY pics before I sent it out

As mentioned in previous messages, I am currently experimenting with wooden dowels to see if that will make the piece even sturdier (I had NO issues with just glue, but evidently USPS likes to play football with packages)

[Photoelectric]

You could maybe do those metal corner braces--4 per shelf, in case there's a very heavy monitor. Easier than using dowels, perhaps.

would take away from the overall look though, IMHO.

I don't see any issue arising with the dowels. Ive got a test piece in clamps right now, and I will let it dry a few days and do various drop tests to see if it stays together

[Photoelectric]

Those go inside the shelf, under the top part and along the inner sides. You wouldn't see them unless looking underneath.

I agree, but wouldn't it work if you had them on the inside?

I really think those Combo sets looks stunning! Perfect for me who using my desk a lot and want to have more space when not using the keyboard!

[cmadrid]

Goodguy Tigersharkdude getting his free upgrades broken by USPS >_<

[tigersharkdude]

It's total BS because the box had bubble wrap and packing paper, and the outside was COVERED in "DO NOT DROP!! VERY FRAGILE!!" wording

[cmadrid]

Thats like.. a bullseye for the dbags that drop stuff

I could do those metal brackets (If someone really wanted them) but Im sure the wooden dowels will hold just fine

I only brought those up because my monitors are heavy 27" with tempered glass, so when I was making a similar shelf in the past, I had to make it extra strong.  It's really a matter of how much weight they will be made to support and overall size.

I can stand on mine, as long as I stand on the sides, and Im around 248

[cmadrid]

Can you jump up and down on them tho! )

[cmadrid]

Or, better yet, can you put them in a box then throw it around all over the place

this is lovely news for me, because i will get an Asus ROG SWIFT 27 inch monitor, i think it will be kinda heavy

Hey tigersharkdude, was wondering if you would consider this website as a source for your awesome rests?

http://www.woodworkerssource.com/

I'm not sure if the pricing is right for you. I guess I'm just trying to help you find some sources to open up the possibilities 

Definitely considering an option 3 walnut rest with no stain. I'm just waiting on shipment of my TKL board so I can let you know exact measurements =)
