Dear Brihji,
As always thanks for smoothening out the velvet issue. BTW, now I realize why one uses rubber (and nothing else) in places of heat and moisture. :-)

Dear Briha,
Great innovative idea undoubtedly and well executated too.
The height that this cheek piece offers, to my mind, most
suitable with scope.As the snap on-snap off is working
well, then it is excellent .On the top of everything, it is
adding more beauty to Samurai 3G.

Dear Brihaji,

A very nice innovation sir,the simplicity of the design,especially the tissue paper holder it can be found easily at stationery shops a very nice way to build a cheek pad rather than importing one and looks great too. :)

Sir...... I don't wear a hat, but I will buy one, just so I can take it off to you!!! (no makkan-ing intended) Learning a lot from you and other DIY-ers!!

Thanks for another idea to drive the family crazy!!

Just a question, can the rubber thingie on the bottom of mousepads be used? I also have a non-slip pad for keeping a cellphone on the car dashboard (purchased by wife on a flight).
Cheers!

Hi essdee,
> I considered mousepad but felt it was too spongy / soft - the rubber needs to be firm.
> A good 2.5mm / 3mm thick rubber sheet would be ideal
> BTW I have come across some mousepads which were a tad stiffer / harder - will have problem during sticking it.
