They do look a bit more traditional then $8.99 plastic levels. Next up is a saw bench, I signed up for semester 1 of the hand tool school with Shannon Rogers while it was on sale. Even though I feel I am beyond "How to cross cut" I figured I may as well follow along to get the most out of it. The irony is that I am participating in the hand tool school but made the Paul Sellers version, don't tell shannon.
