[CAUT] Key leveling stick??

[Porritt, David]

That's what I have here.  $1.89 as I remember.  I bought an 8' section
and cut it in half so I have two.  I've thought about bending one of
them for the "crown" but..........

I use a piece of aluminum angle (channel, or other configurations will
do)
cut to length. A lot cheaper, nice and light weight. Yes, you do need to
sight along it to be sure it is straight when you buy it (and later if
you
leave it around where it can get bashed). If you want, it is pliable
enough
to give a wee bend to create a "crown" along one axis. But it's solid
enough
that, if kept out of harms way, it will keep a stable edge indefinitely,
if
you use a thick enough stock.
