max2 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I found what I think is an old plumb bob that I use all the time. I found it at a place that sold all types of items out of an old barn in a shoe box of odds and ends. Brass & very heavy. GB to answer your question a plumb bob is used to vertical level something .To make it plumb. prehistoric technology . A water level is for horizontal leveling . Back in the day . Good stuff !

aje4 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I collected watches and pens for years. I stopped about 5 or so years ago. I find myself rarely wearing a watch anymore. If I do, it is my apple or garmin watch. Now they sit....I traded a tag recently for a black gun. I guess I will sell or pass them on.....my kids aren’t into watches either. Seems to be another thing that is going by the waist side..... Link to post Share on other sites
