Agree with Frank… What a shame to put this on Pop Woodworking site. Not a learning experience at all.

Hope Glen has some control over this in the future!

Shame on Me if I dont make a story stick on anything I build. I use the same mearsureing device all the way through. Mark it with a knife, darken with a pencil. I have prevented a lot of miscuts this way.

I agree with Frank to the extent that you could have conveyed the same information with a slide show. For the next time, I suggest a slightly different approach, based on what I would find most helpful. In explaining the story of the story stick based on an actual project, why not show how the story stick was created – e.g., butt the thing up against the actual bench and show how and why the individual marks were made and then how the pieces were cut?

We always called them story sticks, for both stairs and cabinet making, to keep from getting them confused with the grade rods used in surveying.

I think it’s more in what part of the country one resides in, as to what they are called, as when we referred to a rod, the first think we thought of, was the grade rod behind the seat in the truck, packed beside our transit.

it’s a pity that there is no speaking commentary to accompany the video – describing what is being shown on the video – the camera moves up & down a piece of timber a number of times – so what – Sorry, I consider it a waste of time!!
