    Here is my wishlist if you care to go that direction www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls... This shows how to understand the ''bubble'' in a level.
    This shows, that the bubble will always go to the "high side"... Therefore, the side the bubble is on, is your high side... If, you want to level something, you have to lower the "high side" or raise the ''low side"... It is that simple.

    I clicked thinking this was going to show me something I didn’t already know.
    But the fact you said you had to teach other tradesmen really shows where the industry is heading. 🤦🏻‍♂️
