These look like they are made pretty simple. I have a couple of them,
never used them much because my hands are too big and there is no
weight to them. But it would work fine for most folks. Especially if

Knowing the penchant for CW that many of you have, I thought I would
ask the following question here.
Does anyone have a design for a very simple iambic key that can be
made with simple materials and hand tools? The kids are starting to
send CW and I am finding they are having a LOT of
Iambic or just paddles? I think single-lever would be easier to home
brew. I envision a hack saw blade plus a couple of bolts for contacts,
all on a wooden base. If you want iambic, that would be more difficult.
How much is the black widow kit? I'm thinking it's like $30 or
something but I

Yes, it would. Some

I have never heard of it. I will go look for it.
Never mind. I checked. It's over $60. You can get the Kent paddles as
a kit too, but they are more.

You could make an extremely simple paddle from a piece

I should have added how I made the contacts: I filed slots in the side
panel and fitted M4 washers with M3 screws to give me some adjustability in
contact spacing. That made for a rather hard contact, so, you might find a
way of springing the grounding contact and it will be more comfortable.

Hi Brian,
Take a look at my website ( www.k9ew.us )for some homebrew key /
paddle ideas. Most were copied or adapted from the designs of others
that I found on the Internet. Look under Projects / Paddles and Keys.
They are very low-tech, and don't require much skill to build. And
