Winding sticks for checking twist

Detect twist in a board before planing

Set one stick across each end of a board and sight across their top edges: if the edges are not parallel, the board is in wind, and you can see exactly which corners to plane down. Print one stick in a light colour and one in a dark colour so the edges stand out against each other.
