    Home Made Laser transit On The Cheap??

    Thanks for ther replies. I think that I will attempt a jerry rigged greenie taped to a 3 foot aluminum level and see if I can get it to read level a distance away. If that works in the shop-I'll take it outside and try to measure grade. My plan B is to purchase a " Watrlevel " brand water...

    Home Made Laser transit On The Cheap??

    I need to level a grade. Has anyone set up a laser pointer to fabricate a makeshift transit before? Don't need anything too fancy-just trying to level the dirt in a 100 foot long garden plot. I have a 6-foot aluminum scale, a few tripods, a couple greenie pointers. I just need plus/minus 1"...

    Found My Larry Light!

    Is there any greater joy than a flashaholic finding a treasured flashlight that had been lost? Maybe-but I'll sure have to think hard to come up with it.

    Is AMEX Pulling Sly One?

    Not really. That is why I opted for the new one. You could be roght. However, it is just a gut feeling that they should have been able to offer the new card with one person in the loop-not a handoff to a team member and without all of the hoopla adverts. After all-I am protected by default...

    Is AMEX Pulling Sly One?

    I read a while back that AMEX was in trouble;along with most of the big credit lenders. I always though of AMEX as tough and mean and probably lean as well. However, it was disclosed that AMEX changed thier charter recently to qualify for the buy-outs. It was in the news. Amex is hutin'. The...
