Go to a trophy shop and ask if you can buy an undrilled marble base. Then you'll have to get a small masonry bit (and a drill press really helps too). Or maybe the trophy shop will be able to work a deal for the custom drilling too. |

Stick-on furniture pads might also work. Make sure the base extends beneath the knob on the key. I think that may be as important as mass. Fred K4DII |

That's why I went looking for steel. -- David Griffith --- Put my last name where it belongs |
