Default Make Your own Arm rest!

I am in the process of redesigning my work area and I wanted some new arm rest. I took a look on the internet and found these.
Gel arm rest for computer chairs!
This one is about $79 for a pair

This one is $20 for a pair

My plan is to attach them to the front of my bench sideways and have my hubby create an adjustable attachment that can me moved in or out.
I thought this would work well. They also have an arm rest that will attach to your table.

I ordered some. If anyone is interested in seeing how it works out, let me know!

Seems like a good idea, I'll have to keep this in mind!

I have these and love 'em! Very portable.

I paid $25 for a pair here in the GS but similar ones would be easy to make.

I have the ones like your last picture. They swivel every which way and hold very well to my table. I have used them for over a year now and am very happy I bought them.

Default Arm rests

dclutter,

if your dh is handy enough to make what you described you might want to have him do something like this.

Yes he is pretty darn handy! I would be interested in seeing how you use this!

Here is the wrist rest he just made me. I like it because it is magnetic and I can position it where I need to. I find I use it a lot!


This is my current arm or elbow rest. I have duck taped pads and leather sandbags from my drafting days.

I am planning on moving out of the corner and setting up two work stations. So my husband told me to figure out what I want and he will build it. He is an excellent metal artist.
Here is one of the gates he made in our yard.
