Project Information
Today I made several pairs of winding sticks. I started with scraps from other projects, I decided to try some different lengths. I believe the longer the sticks are the more sensitive /accurate the reading will be.
The shortest ones are 12" long, the longest are 24" long.
I have seen beautiful winding stock that have inlays of ebony and ivory. I made mine using a black "Sharpie" for the dark tabs and white spray paint for the light tabs.
I planed the pieces of each set side by side-repeating this on the top and the bottom to make the reference surfaces true. I then placed these edges together, holding them before a light so see where I needed to fine tune the gap.
I hope they work out, helping me to remove twist as I plane flat the faces of boards.
