the level without sending the plumb bob swinging all over the place.
Something like the tactile compasses.

Yesterday, I got to spend a considerable amount of time in my basement cutting
and drilling in preparation for building a workbench. The floor is about five
inches higher at the base of three of the walls than it is in the center where
there is a drain. This can present some challenges, but I

Nothing to engineer about the plumb bob level, just make sure the
botttom rail and one side are truly square if you want vertical

How would we find out or do you know what year, I think Chrysler had a
three or four leg jack stand which had a crank on it to slowly raise

different projects

Lee, I thought about getting something like a car stand, you know the
pyrimid-shaped units you put under cars? But, the table on my drill press is
probably 48 inches off the ground, so a car stand would be way too short. The
sheetrock jack really was outstanding, because it had an automobile
This won't help you too much but this week Canadian Tire has roller stands
