Well I never ! I once made a part for a small boat and could have really used one of these. I've never seen or heard of one of these before now . Definitely my next little project. Love it , thanks. 🙂
Absolutely brilliant idea that I (ignorant oaf! I have never heard of before, no matter how old it is)! Excellent presentation too, thanks Steve (and NO "blimming musak" either, great). PS: NO idea what a Tick Stick is called where ) I live.
You are right to identify the risk! That is why I stress the importance of keeping the board thin.. And I fully understand the eyesight issue - 2 years ago I was blind in one eye, now it is better than the other. Yay! The NHS, with all its faults, is fantastic.
To increase the accuracy of the marks you need to make from the tick stick to the final workpiece, you can close the gap from the tick stick down to the workpiece. Cut a piece of the same plywood the template is made of, and shape it to perfectly match the tip of the tick stick. Just before you go to transfer the marks to the final workpiece, you tape the tip piece to the underside of the tick stick. If a person frequently used a tick stick, they might be tempted to make a more secure, and reusable, method to attach the tip.
There's a video on TH-cam where a guy fits out the plywood dfloor of his van using a ticking stick. It's a good demonstration on gow you would used it. Thanks for the video. I have already subscribed

Well done Steve. I never knew this in all my 92 yrs old. Thank you kind Sir. I shall do it I want!
Go for it!
I had forgotten this technique! Thank you for the reminder! More, please.
You are welcome!
This is a good example to show that, even Festool, does not make a product for this application.
So many times the old ways are the best ways! !! !!!
Thanks Steve.
Every day a school day :):)
Indeed it is. Glad you liked it.
Low tech and low cost that works. Well done Steve.

Hi Andy, great to hear from you! I thought of you when I was using your Allen keys only yesterday :)
Thanks, By necessity, I have a low tech shop. Sometimes low tech is the best way to do something. I will use this!
The older I get, the more I like Low-Tech.
Well I just got schooled thanks for sharing a brilliant method and that is so worthy of a sub
Genius idea ! I needed this idea 2 years ago! I'm sure I'll need it again though, thank you :)
Excellent presentation of the tick stick methodology Steve
Thanks 👍
Pretty interesting indeed! Thanks, Steve! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks, you too!
Extremely useful technique Steve.
Thanks 👍. As old as the hills but always new at the same time, eh?
Nice work shop
Thanks Steve, another excellent tip and video.
Very interesting!!! Very clever tool!!! Thank you for the information.
Very welcome
oh me the material that got thrown away becaue didm;t know this little technique;;;lol;;;good one;;;
LOL! I'm sure we have all had those times.
Fantastic idea. I would want to extend the depth of the 'point' to touch the workpiece, thus avoiding parallax errors due to my poor sight!

Indeed, fitting out a van is equivalent to fitting out a boat in the olden days, very similar scenario.
This would drive me nuts either you have the skills and the eye or waste time
Just another skill to keep in the back of your mind....you never know.
