I'd love to know how the Romans managed....

the lines on the fax max levels are too close to the bubble

that what makes a accrete level imo

It's like having a tape measure with different size mm on. Surely to be accurate the bubble should be just inside both lines no matter which way you turn it.

always stabila for me too. I was in Topps the other day and they had some "Tilers Levels". They are not like normal, they were kind of triangular in shape, not sure what the advantage is?

when i was doing my apprentaship we use to use a Star level for large format marble. It had three legs/arms and round vial in the middle. It was perfect to just place in the middle of the marble to check your level, much quicker than using a normal level.

Does anyone remember this kind of level? I use to call it a star level, but i'm not sure of the correct name for it. I have searched the internet many times to try and find one. The closest I got is just the round vial, mostley used by dy's to level their record players.

If anyone knows where I can get one from please let me know.
