How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
There are many methods for measuring wood. We use a digital ruler (a tool to measure distances), laser level (used for leveling your work surface), and bubble level (used for levelling your work surface).
Two jaws can be opened and closed on a digital caliper. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. The digital caliper can be used to measure small distances such as the thickness of wood.
Laser levels feature an infrared-light beam that projects lines across the floor. A red dot is created by the laser. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. As long as the bubble remains centered, the device can tell you if the surface has been leveled. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
