Measuring sticks

[Niki]

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 700mm each and I can measure with them distances as small as 200mm up to 1300mm (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...

Excellent Niki, excellent.

You might find it a good idea to put a piece of plastic (washing up liquid bottle) in the tunnel, between the stick and the screw heads. If you pin it to the wall of the tunnel before you glue it on it will stay in place.It will prevent your thumb-screws from marring the sticks, so they will last longer.

Thank you so much for your kind replies

Steve

Is there no end to this man's inventive talent?

There is, and I think that it's coming soon....if I'm already "playing" with sticks instead of some good router or table saw jig...
