    This is the video on UA-cam I’ve found yet for a laser level. Great job!

    Thanks for the explanation. I was the grade rod boy when my dad was in the business. And he was using just a transit then but eventually got one like you there . Enjoyed the video.

    Like the video, Have you ever tried using a "Lenker Rod"..also know as a direct reading rod? Makes grade reading so much easier and removes math mistakes.

    Just found your channel and this was an excellent explanation. Thanks, this is what I’m going to try and learn to use to up my productivity next dirt season. Been considering a laser level for awhile but you’re exactly right just feel a bit intimidated by them.

    I loved this video. I’m still confused. But I know you know your stuff. So I’m gonna watch it again and again until I figure it out. We are just starting our channel. Maybe we can make some good stuff.

    Metric is obviously the same principle, but so much easier. Everything building related is measured in millimeters.
