Wim,
   A block of wood with three or four usable dimensions is practical, but 
not truly stable without a little Velcro. On the other hand (you've got 
different fingers), you can get one of the brass short sticks (Supply 
house) and cut it to length, Mount it on top of the current short stick. 
Two screws and a few minutes with a hacksaw and sand paper. While you're at 
it, check and/or replace the babybuggybumpers on the long stick. Gazzilion 
bucks. You da hero.

Later,
Guy
