Post a Picture that Makes You Laugh

They're never off, but that doesn't prevent the level from being abused, such as being used as a pry bar or clamping a straight edge, which oddly enough, causes it to become no longer straight. 😵

If it ain't broken you ain't tryin'.

And also, do levels these days not have adjustment screws ?
Mine do, but then they are 40+ years old.

I have one that's adjustable, I made it as an apprentice toolmaker 50 years ago. I'm in Lanzagrote at the moment, when back home I'll put a picture up.

tonyEE, you just need to replace the bubble, they do wear out.😉

That reminds me of my mantra from when I used to fix up old cars and end up bleeding - if it doesn't hurt, it hasn't worked!

I've never seen one in 45 years of using them. On this side of the pond the good ones are constructed of heavy duty box sections instead of I beams and have solid acrylic square vials instead of round tubular ones. They're never off, but that doesn't prevent the level from being abused, such as being used as a pry bar or clamping a straight edge, which oddly enough, causes it to become no longer straight. 😵

Practically every brickie here uses German 'Stabila' levels which get a really rough life and can take it. They're used along with a trowel and lump hammer to adjust a course of bricks and end up dented and chipped, but retain accuracy for years. They aren't intended to be adjusted.

I have three well used ones inherited from a family bricklayer. I actually just used one today as a circular saw guide.

True, all discussions about religious DVD players must take place elsewhere.

On a similar note, how many VCR's did you repair that were not gluten free?

Better than putting a VHS cassette in a toaster.

Yet it's a more serious thing than it seems... 🤔

Be sure the people you care about are buckled-up!

what could be the reason I can not insert a picture, only attach.

I have an old browser?

You cannot insert a pdf, try jpg instead.

More and more I find that the browser is fine but the operator is old.
