Couldn’t find “How To Make A Taught Stick”, but some fun things to use are:
1 cubit equals 18 inches (depending on the definition), or the length from your elbow to the tips of your fingers. Think about an Ark being 300 cubits long by 50 cubits wide by 30 cubits high.
The first digit of my little finger is about 1 inch long. My ring finger is 3 inches long.
A n eyelash is about one thousandth of an inch or .03 millimeters thick. Those of you that have to hold your tolerances within an RCH will understand. A moustache hair is about .005 inches thick or .13 millimeters.
If I spread my fingers out, the distance from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my little finger is 9 inches. The width of my fingers excluding the thumb is 4 inches or 1 hand if measuring (for instance) the height of a horse.
There are hundreds of more comparisons to help you. I’m SURE some commenters can come up with at least one or two more to entertain you. {^¿^}
