Level And Plumb

Level and plumb are two types of measuring tools commonly used by craftsmen in the field of construction and carpentry.

A level is a tool used to determine if a surface or object is perfectly horizontal or vertical. It consists of a long, straight body with a bubble vial filled with liquid and an air bubble. When the bubble is centered between two lines on the vial, it indicates that the surface or object is level.

On the other hand, a plumb is a tool used to determine if a surface or object is perfectly vertical. It consists of a weight (plumb bob) attached to a string or line. When the weight is suspended freely, it aligns with the force of gravity and indicates a true vertical line.

Both level and plumb are essential tools for ensuring accuracy and precision in construction and carpentry projects. They help craftsmen achieve straight and level surfaces, ensuring that structures are built correctly and safely.
