English term or phrase: set up his sticks
He was working on the edge of the common, beyond the small brook that ran in the dip at the bottom of the garden, carrying the garden path in continuation from the plank bridge onto the common. He had cut the rough turf and bracken, leaving the grey, dryish soil bare. But he was worried because he could not get the path straight; there was a pleat between his brows. He had set up his sticks, and taken the sight between the big pine trees, but for some reason everything seemed wrong.
