    This is how Egyptian’s constructed precious buildings that stand today. As a 70 year old and working in a Plumbing union for 45 years I watched some of the old timer’s use this laying tile on hospital’s and high rise buildings. Thanks for educating those who want accuracy. I have witnessed Lazer failures due to calibration on job sites that have been costly to those trusting Lazer’s. They are great and efficient until the calibration gets off. Water levels are full proof.

      Exactly 💯%. I've been using this system many yrs.(iam older than you). It works great for concrete forms. If the concrete is level, the building is level. If the foundation is off, the building is off!!! Get it???

      Ancient Egyptians had clear plastic/acrylic tubing? That's amazing how advanced they were. I wonder how they made clear plastic tubing way back then. You mean water levels are "fool" proof, not "full."

      @MargitDahlin 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You don't need a tube for level with water over long distances possible to make a small trench and fill it with water and set your reference points in each ends /corners.
      They probably leveled up two boards and aimed them like a gunsight for a third board further away and put the level mark and run a string between.

    This is very good to use if you forget to bring the Lazer . It's something that old builders would use in the past but younger ones don't know about! Good to pass on to the new generation. Very valuable.

      What about just using a Mason cord/rope with a hangable water level. Id assume its a lot quicker. I mean it you need to go around corners you could just mark your reference level at the corner and apply tension at the corner and transfer to the point where youd like to mark your height.
      I assume the Water level the both of you used will be slightly more accurate but I think for the most projects a few mm's would not be all too tragic.
      I've never used this technique before, however it is fascinating to see how resourceful our ancestors were in an era before the introduction of modern amenities.

  • @stevenrobertson4470
    @stevenrobertson4470 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    When using a thin tube like this, the water often doesn't level exactly. To avoid this, put a little dish washing liquid in the container and mix it up before putting it in the tube. You should see much more accurate results! Dishwashing soap reduces water surface tension and makes water "wetter"!

      @h2s142 Why shoudn't you add soap? It reduces surface tension. It isn't for ease of sight, which is why you were mentioning food coloring.

    I've used this method for laying out ceiling grid. I didn't have a long enough piece of clear tubing so I used a garden hose with 1' pieces of clear tubing at both ends, held in place by clamps, and it worked great.

    Well not that long ago, 1980’s when I started as an electrician this is all the contractors used for installing T-bar, drop ceiling grids. I’m sure it’s been around for decades and centuries. Laser Levels have mostly replaced this method, but it is still popular in many area’s.

    Can be done 1 man operation
    20 litre bucket almost full of water
    Fill clear hose and put one end in the bucket
    Weigh it down with a non porous item like a hammer
    Siphon the hose to eliminate all air bubbles
    The free end of clear tube will give the height of the water in bucket .
    Now measure up or down to finish height

      @PeterLawton 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The earth is a globe. I think you have concluded that the earth is flat, simply because you do not see how water would "find its level" while going around a sphere. You assume that if there were a way, you would see it, but you don't see it, so there is no way the earth is a globe.
      But the source of this contradiction is that you have not learned how both can be true: water finds it level AND the earth is a globe. There is a way, though. It takes a deep dive into math and physics to see the evidence clearly, or else a trip high into the atmosphere.

      It does - the first few times - but then (depending on what you used to colour it with) it stains the inside of the tube and makes it very difficult to see the meniscus.
