Flattening my workbench - using Brian's level
|
I'm between projects so I decided to flatten my Roubo workbench.? I started by using two levels, one yellow and one black, as winding sticks.? With my old eyes I found it difficult to see the twist especially when the levels were far apart.
As I was trying to decide about how much twist my eyes could detect, it came to me to use Brian's level (Lamb Tool Works) to measure the twist.? It worked great, and just about too good.? My bench is flat with minimal twist after using a #5 cross grain, a #7 at 45 degrees, and a #4 along the grain.?? ? Dennis |
