I've had a number of emails (Ed. in his dreams) asking for ways to keep fore and aft sections of the keel aligned during assembly, which reminded me of an old technique that I used to use back in the day. It's the best use I know of for cocktail sticks except for drinking cocktails with Maraschino cherries on the end of them. Alternatively there are kebab sticks for larger projects, which you can get free at BBQs whilst no-one is looking.
