How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
There are many methods for measuring wood. We use a digital scale (a tool for measuring distances), a laser-level (used to level your work surface), as well as a bubble level (used in order to level your work surface).
A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. The first jaw holds the object, and the second measures the distance between them. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels emit an infrared laser beam that projects a straight line across the floor. A red dot is created by the laser. You can check if the surface is level by looking down at the line. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device has a bubble at its center. The device will inform you if the surface is level if the bubble is in the center. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
