And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I thought windows behind a monitor were a good idea too, until I tried it. Lasted about half an hour. The light coming in (even in a north facing window) was unbearable.
Got about 10 of those. For you wishing to build one: take 2 2x12s of suitable length; glue and bolt (all thread) side by side; then using glue and a nailer, top with 3/4 tongue in groove flooring of your preferred width and species. Trim and edge with more flooring. Finish with Bona Mega. Set on any base you like (hint- a pair of 2 drawer file cabinets works wonderfully). A $500 workspace for a couple hundred or less. If you can find a house with hardwood flooring being installed, get permission to hit the scrap pile.
I love this. I’d add an ESD mat, and my audio interface stack. If the windows face north, it’s imperfection itself.
ReplyDeleteIf this were my workspace, I would have all sorts of papers stacked all over the place with pending projects.
ReplyDeleteThis is just perfect, wish I could find some more detailed views of it. A small vise on either end would be a bonus.

ReplyDeleteA clean desk is a sign of a sick mind.
