well welcome back to the Steve Robb show today we're gonna have some fun I'm gonna show you
for under $2 how to pretty much level anything that you want so easy and guys let's start off
with the part 1 of my series on how to build a wooden garden shed and let's go to this clip here
where I never did show you how I leveled off all these blocks let's take a look at this well here
we are here I got the yel tight perimeter all framed in bring you over and all I'll show ya
boy she's pretty sunny out here today there we go guys that's not too bad eh and it is 173 on
each corner and yeah that's not too bad eh well let's get right to it right now and I'm gonna
show you how easy it is and guys you're going to be blown away at this first of all you have to
have some type of good square piece of material to work with and I just happen to choose this
level and you could use like a just a regular wooden block you can use like any type of level
that you have anything don't reason why I chose this one is it's got a V groove in here and it
works out very good and I just used my bic shake whiteout and you don't even have to use that I'm
gonna show you why and in a minute here and I used just a regular you know steel ruler okay
this is the secret weapon here guys this is it right here and this is just one of them wonder
what happens if I point this at the camera well okay sorry I don't want to blind you there this
is just one of them regular like under $2 5 watt I don't know what you call them laser pointers
I've had this for a while now I'll put a little clip in here of what this thing looks like and
guys this is terrific for the price and I mean I've been using this for all kinds of stuff it
doesn't have to be just for this particular application it can be for a lot of things so
this is how I operated mine and of course this is magnetic as well so it just sits on here like
this and I have it just like this and it's upside down I'll show you how it's all going to work and
when this is on a flat surface it's exactly from the center of the tip down to the bottom guys is
exactly on mine is two and three sixteenths no it doesn't matter on yours you can make it
anything you want and if you stick it on a two inch level it'll be two inches from the bottom
here to the center and all you do is just mark out exactly from the bottom where you are right
to the center of your laser pointer so lets me get set up here and I'll show you exactly
how easy this works and I think for me in my application of what I'm doing I don't have to
be that accurate but as you can see on my level showing on them choices that was pretty good I
mean how level do you have to be especially you know on a little project like this come on it's
only a shed right so but for me it's been working out fantastic so let me get this set up and I'll
show you how it works okay for display purposes here you could see I just have it sitting on this
container and a couple of two by fours and you can see how it's just sitting there flat and
that would just represent a block now you have to have one block level and square and all them
blocks were all level so you just go from block to block and then from here that's quite a distance
guys to that piece down there and guys all that is is an old level that I have and you can see I've
marked it off two and three sixteenths just drew a white line across and that's pretty well it so
let's take a look and see how that looks and I all lights on and we'll get the laser turned on
I just pressed the button and we'll take a look see that going off and on guys that's all I was
doing he's just lying on that block up on the other side so I had one patio stone and all I
would do is I can tell if it's got to come up or if it's got to come down and I would just put it
right on the line so now you're thinking okay so I don't have one of them pieces of aluminum
you know levels let's take a look at that 2x4 sitting there behind there it is guys here's
the same mark just with a piece of pencil that's all you need is just a piece of pencil on there
and let's take a look there you go guys and it's it's that easy well I hope you like that guys
that I mean this here it's a no-brainer for like two dollars and you could rig it up to
do all kinds of different things now the distance between here and where I was shooting was roughly
13 feet now on that building that I'm making 8 by 12 when you go from corner to corner is 173
inches and guys this here shot at no problem and it was close enough for me for what I'm doing this
is no way should ever be you know considered like a professional laser pointer but for me
guys this is for me there's no way I'm going to go back to using a string line and a bubble and
all this kind of stuff forget it because I'm saying this is more accurate than using a just
a string line and a little bubble what do you call that thing I don't even think I have it
anymore I know that I haven't used it in such a long time but ok so now in the next part we're
going to go to me installing the deck and guys I'm using a different product and I usually use
I'm going with the pressure treated plywood only because when I did that video Oh a long time ago
about installing my outhouse up at the camp if you've seen in that video I'll put a click down
below a link down below for that video if you like but I got my chainsaw and I cut the top
off of that because it was sticking up too high and that half-inch pressure treated plywood was
in there for 15 years and it had not deteriorated or rotted or nothing sitting right in the ground
for all that time so I figured okay I'll go with the pressure treated plywood this time but I'm
also going to do something else that I've never done before either and can you guys guess if I'm
gonna use nails or screws so thanks for joining in today I hope you liked this little tip I've
been doing this for a long time and I think it's accurate enough like I say for what I want to do
so come back again and for you's guys never seen this channel you're welcome to subscribe and be
very careful when you're operating this I mean it is a laser you could damage your eyes and
that kind of stuff so you know don't be you know having somebody else at the other end shooting
this thing all over the place you got to be using a lot of common sense and have some fun and that's
the whole idea behind my channel come back again let's have some more fun bye guys oh yeah Cheers
