How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
We have several ways to measure wood. We use a digital caliper (a tool used to measure distances), a laser level (used to make sure your work surface is flat), and a bubble level (used to make sure your work surface is perpendicular).
A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels feature an infrared-light beam that projects lines across the floor. The laser emits a red dot on the line. You can check if the surface is level by looking down at the line. Laser levels are best for checking the accuracy of large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. As long as the bubble is centered, the device will tell you whether the surface is level or not. Bubble levels can be used for checking the accuracy in smaller areas.
