How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
We use several methods to measure wood. We use a digital caliper (a tool used to measure distances), a laser level (used to make sure your work surface is flat), and a bubble level (used to make sure your work surface is perpendicular).
A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. The laser emits a red dot on the line. It is possible to see if the surface of the surface are even by looking down at it. Laser levels are best for checking the accuracy of large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. As long as the bubble is centered, the device will tell you whether the surface is level or not. For checking the accuracy of small areas, bubble levels are useful.
