| Office supply stores still have plastic sholder rests. These often fit well in the hand and can make a nice base to build a chorder on top of. I did a version of this in the pre-spiffchorder days. Its construction is documented at [[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~priestdo/chordhack/phonerest/]]. It is leather that is then brushed with hot bee's wax. | |
| | [[https://www.chorder.org/~priestdo/chordhack/phonerest/|{{:spiffchorder:slide_1231_010.jpg?200 |}}]] Office supply stores may still have plastic shoulder phone rests. These often fit well in the hand and can make a nice base to build a chorder on top of. I did a version of this in June of 2001. At this time my chorder was a combination of a cheap keyboard board and a kernel module. That build is documented at [[https://www.chorder.org/~priestdo/chordhack/phonerest/]]. It is leather that is then brushed with hot bee's wax. |
