    Measuring Sticks

    Good day

    Measuring sticks are not a new idea but usually, the distance that you can measure is as small as the half (or one stick) length and I wanted to measure with the same sticks even smaller distances than "one stick length".

    The sticks that I made are 28" each and I can measure with them distances as small as 8" up to 52" (I mean, inside distance of a box or cabinet)

    I also wanted to be able to measure the outside distance of a cabinet....

    Do you know why usually, when we are thinking about a problem, we tilt our head to the left or right ?...
    ...to concentrate all the IQ in one place

    So, I tilted my head to the left and what I came with is....on the pictures...

    Regards

      Wow, nice design.

      I just use some old strips of basswood from my architectural modeling days clamped with a couple black office clips.

        As is your MO, Very nicely done Niki. Some great ideas for making a tool that has more than 1 use. With slow shop time right now I'll have to try and make one of these. I have to be careful when I tilt my head, if I go to far I fall over and when I hit the ground it wakes me up.

            Is this going to help me get things square?

            Great idea and yet another shop project to get done.
