How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
Wood measurement can be done using several methods. 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 can have two jaws, which open and close. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. The laser emits red dots on the line. The line can be viewed down to determine if the surface has an even surface. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The center of the device contains a bubble. As long as the bubble is centered, the device will tell you whether the surface is level or not. Bubble levels are great for checking the accuracy and precision of smaller areas.
