Pinch stick for measuring inside corners

 I use these for making sure my boxes are square before glue up.


I have all the flat bamboo sticks.  I think they're 2mm thick.


I was just using a clamp on them but that doesn't always work.

I made a mortise in a scrap of oak with a 3mm chisel.

It's a great chisel for cleaning out larger mortises too.


Some filing and I get a snug fit.
Then i drilled a hole and taped it with threads for a #6 machine screw and I have a my pinch stick.
