[CW] Better fingerpieces for the Vibroplex Vibrocube?

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Hi Whitey,

I am a terror with a saw.  Last time I used a power saw, it spit a piece of
wood against me when the saw broke the wood against the fence and hurled it
at my face.

My last excursion on "Woodworking for Morse Operators" class.

Your talents are awesome, mine it seem are reserved to sending CW - which
is getting poorer and poorer as the day goes on - I got on the air today
for one contact after a silence of several months and it was WORK.

But I figure if I keep plodding on, maybe I'll improve.
