Great video! I love the concept of a water level. My first one I actually made like you did with a Home Depot 5 gallon bucket. But then I realized instead of ruining the bucket by cutting holes in it all you need to do is initiate the siphon in the tube sticking the tube in the water right from the top. It will do the exact same thing that yours does seeking the level of water in the bucket. In order to secure it to the bucket I just use a spring clamp with a zip tie. Now your bucket can be used again for its normal uses and there are zero places for leaks to occur. Thanks again

Another excellent tutorial. I had already decided to incorporate a liquid tube levelling system into my equatorial camera mount. this gave me a couple of extra ideas to improve it. Thanks. I also like the style of your videos. no annoying background music that makes it hard to hear the dialogue. You get straight to the point, no pre-amble or waffle. Other you tube makers should take note.

Agreed, especially on the demonstrations. Until midway through the video, I was mostly trying to figure out why I would want such a tool! lol It may actually benefit you to structure these videos in reverse order; demonstrating your nifty tool before explaining how we can make our own. 🤔 Your water reservoir is probably far larger than it needs to be though. Your hose only holds about 30 cubic inches of water, which is just under half a liter. A 1L bottle could be strung over a nail for easy height adjustment. Charging the system with 1L of water should give you plenty of spare volume for water to flow in and out of the hose as you move around. 🤓👍

The demonstration of the building of the level is great except for some parts it should be slowed down. If, like me, you've never seen a valve like that before it is pretty hard to follow what you were actually doing and WHAT tool you were using to deconstruct it. I guess you can adjust playback speed on KZbin, but why should everyone need to do so?

Wickedly Cool!!!! So simple....What sorcery is this!!!!! Ive got a half acre of desert land in Southern Utah, its very uneven and I was using a string and line level to make a map so I'd know how much fill I need to level it. A huge pain sinking multiple poles in multiple areas , then running strings in every direction. Wow with this, one bucket and 100 or so feet of tube and I can map my back yard level anywhere and everywhere without bending over, banging poles in the ground and trying to accurately level lines for measurement. Thanks Brother!!!!!!

I was in the Peace Corps in the 1980s. Peace Corps volunteers and local helpers used clear plastic tubes just like in your video to build one- or two-room schools and teacher houses, Worked great. Many people commented one how level everything was, compared to other local amateur construction. (Never had a problem with the water freezing.)

Useful info... I have some experience as a surveyor. When I built a parking space along side of my garage, I rented a dumpy level. Son held the tape measure as a "rod". I suppose I could have done all the measuring myself with a water level. I have used water in clear tubing for leveling ledger boards and deck posts. That took an extra set of hands.

First time I ever seen this, it blew my mind. A guy who grew up on a farm came to my house to help me figure out drainage on yard. The yard was a mess and basically everything sloped toward house. When we were done, he had it dialed in and had drain tiles doing all the work. Farmers are always the smartest people I know. He had a water level and it worked great. No need for lasers or anything fancy. He called it “redneck engineering”

Thx for taking the time in making this video. I thought the fact that lasers can't shine upon something that the light can't get to was so true. So the laser isn't the be all end all when there are items in the space but the water level won't care, Shweeeet. The bucket is optional. You can just use the hose. The funny thing is that I have seen water level go for as much as $50 for a 50' unit. I guess they used magic hose. Hahaha. Thx again.
@Makebuildmodify
@Makebuildmodify 5 жыл бұрын
Thanks! Yeah, you can make a water level without a bucket but the way you use it is a little different. A single hose is only level and does not help with overall project elevation. While using a hose level the elevation must be calculated relative to each instance of level. A water level with a reservoir (bucket or something of the sort) can be used for both level and elevation measurements within a reasonable tolerances.

@@ctsehn Oh, I think I understand what you are describing now. It's a lot like a water feeder for a cat or dog. That would be due to the fact that the container is sealed. The bucket level requires a hole in the lid to allow the air to displace the water as it finds level. But the humidifier doesn't allow for the immediate displacement to occur. I bet it makes a small "glug" sound every once and a while.

I do a little bit of a lot of things. I'm a carpenter (builder/remodel) a few days a week. I sell art supplies and jewelry on Etsy. I have a few niche informational websites that I do the code development on for ad revenue. I was a product photographer for a few years and now I'm trying to do the KZbin thing.

Hello, nice! Question : why use a bucket vs filling up tube Thanks!
@Makebuildmodify
@Makebuildmodify 2 жыл бұрын
That's a good question. The short answer is that there is a difference between level and elevation. When you use a hose with clear ends the water will be level. However, if both ends of the hose move for the next reading then you will have a new set of level marks at a completely different elevation. Generally, when a bucket level is used the bucket is stationary and all of the lines are relative to that elevation. There are some other small differences too but they don't matter too much for most applications.

Excellent description of making one and the use. Remember to recalibrate if you spill any liquid, your water level changes. One design change I would recommend is using a smaller diameter bucket so the whole mess can fit inside a 5gal bucket for storage and transport. Well...as I’m typing this i realize I have 2 suggestions - Because our cold temps here I also use anti-freeze. Preferably the stuff used to winterize RV’s, not as toxic if there is a spill. Some old timers suggested mineral oil because it settles out faster in the reservoir - but that seams really messy if I drop my line.

The level for use doesn't change, if you spill some just add more!! As long as there is enough water to go from one point to the other it works. Water is always self-leveling.
