Well depends on how sophisticated you want to make it. But a really simple and effective way is to buy a small piece of lightweight aluminum roughly 1 cm thick at least for durability and so it won't bend. Shape it either by just rounding the edges or make a oval form to it and polish it to get rid of any sharp edges or "splinters". After that drill two holes in it and attach it to your grip using small bolts or screws (if possible add a small piece of wood on the inside of the grip to add to the durability of the grip and give the palm rest a sturdier fixpoint. Ofcourse you can use some high quality glue to attach it as well but they tend to be less sturdy (also makes it harder to add or remove the palm rest if you decide you don't want it.)
There is also another style of attachment using a couple of Neodyn Magnets (really really powerful magnets). This is somewhat less sturdy but makes attaching and remove a breeze. To do this simply glue 3 small magnets to the bottom of your grip. Then make a small housing unit for 3 magnets that you attach to the palm rest. make the holes exactly so that two magnets could fit beside each other and depth so that both magnets fit exactly on top each other. Easiest way is to do this is use a piece wood, but you could also sink in the magnet holes into the palm rest directly for a more sleek look. Then just glue in 3 more magnets into the housing holes and your done. Idea with this is that you simply attach the palm rest by aligning the magnets on the grip and palm rest together, while making it easy to remove by simply pushing the palm rest forward (thus "disconnecting" the magnets).
The strength of the magnets will hold the palm rest locked in place without any problems at all. But you have a higher risk to push it loose if you do a really bad dive or something, really easy to reattach it again though.
I'll try and whip up a drawing of how i mean when i get home tonight. Anything unclear simply ask and i'll try and explain it better when i ain't writing on the phone.
