[Elecraft] Elecraft Hex Key Serial # 57

[Don Wilhelm]

Adding to the plywood idea, for a really solid "no movement" key, drill 
holes in the plywood that match the feet on the paddles - so the paddle 
feet fit into the holes.
The real key to the solution is to extend the plywood out to the front 
of the paddles so that your hand rests on the plywood.  The paddles and 
your hand will always be in alignment, no matter where the plywood and 
paddle combination is placed on the desk.  Your hand secures the plywood 
and the plywood holds the paddle in place.

That worked well for me until I bought a paddle from K3ZN which has more 
than enough weight on the base to keep it solid.
