The nice thing is it could double for making a post plumb.

As a level though, it seems less precise than a water level.

The A frame! A classic tool for sure. Great info y'all.

Great example, didn't even think of making it collapsable, but will now 👍

The whole time you were working, I kept imagining Romans laying out aqueducts to exact slopes. What a great survey tool. You can use it to analyse large areas to arbitrary precision.

Neat tool, thanks for sharing it with us.
