Story Stick
Even in today's high tech world of woodworking, some tried and true
techniques are still hard to beat. Introducing the new Woodpecker Story Stick.
What's a story stick? It's essentially a yardstick customized to your project
with just the marks you need.
The Woodpecker Story Stick takes this fundamentally useful tool and
brings it into the 21 st century.
Now you can mark dozens of boards exactly the same. To make it even
easier, you won't need your glasses to make an accurate pencil mark, the pencil
slots in the steel tabs ensure your marks are dead on.
By combining accurately cut steel tabs with an engraved aluminum
track and machined stop, you'll have one of the best tools possible for
repeatedly and accurately marking where you need to drill a hole, make a cut or
install a shelf.
Each tab is formed with a notched window to maximize alignment
accuracy to an engraved linear and centering scale. Four tabs and one end stop
are included with each 36" Story Stick .
Totally adjustable, easily switches between right and left hand use
and even features a center scale to layout symmetrical projects. As always,
made in the U.S.A.
Steel tabs make it quick and easy to make perfect marks for
drilling, routing and sawing.
In addition to a center slot, a V-notch allows for more visible
markings.
Front window with alignment notch for rapid positioning and high
contrast engraved scales in 1/32" increments for easy reading.
Scales are engraved in both directions so the Story Stick can be
used left-to-right.
And right to left.
The Woodpecker Story Stick also makes for a very accurate stop rule.
As a stop rule, the Woodpecker Story Stick has an extra long 35"
capacity.

Hi all,
could somebody please explain how this stick works? I have never seen
or heard of this before. I might know what it is under another name.
Interesting how we often call the same things by different names
around the world.
Unfortunately the link below gave me the 404 error so I did not learn
anything there.
Thanks for any info.
Max.
