"If I really wanted a hand grip for an OM, I would probably remove the
insides and plastic bottom part that holds batteries from a Winder and
put something in the hole in the bottom. That would make a great, light,
sturdy grip. When using a winder, I do tend to work the other way, with
the right hand doing the weight lifting."

All true, however, the big disadvantage of this approach is that the
hand falls naturally to the shutter button on the winder (which isn't
working, of course), rather than to the release on the camera. One has
to conciously feel for the release on the camera, rather than use a
reflex action, which can be annoying (if you hit the wrong one and miss
the shot).  OTOH, this does indicate that the ergonomics of the winders
is just right!
