I came across a video where someone uses a stick to measure lengths and I'm wondering if that's what's called a 'story stick.' I've been searching for this type of tool in the USA, but it's been tricky to find. Also, I highly recommend checking out the creator of the video—they have some awesome content!

It looks more like a ruler being used for measuring and marking lengths, probably for some trim work. A story stick, on the other hand, is a pretty straightforward tool. It's essentially a length of wood where you mark your measurements, especially helpful if you're doing repeated projects. This way, you can avoid mis-measuring every single time. Just measure once, mark it on the stick, and you're good to go! It’s a real time-saver for future projects.
