How to make a laser level with your own hands

Using the laser level, you can quickly and accurately project the desired angle, vertical or horizontal onto the surface. These devices are very convenient when performing repair work. With their help, laying of tiles, filling of the floor, the manufacture of suspended ceilings, etc. are facilitated. However, laser levels are very expensive. In the construction portal BoldProject.ru you can find many areas of its application. Now let’s see how to make a laser level with our own hands..

Of the materials you will need a laser pointer, porous rubber, a flat bar, building level, a piece of plywood, as well as a bar measuring 50? 50 mm.

Getting to work

Seal the center of the nozzle with cardboard and make a small hole in it. After that, put it on the pointer, turn it on and point it on a flat surface. You should see a bright point.

Now you need a stake a little over a meter long. To do this, flank the block with an ax. On its second edge, at a right angle, fasten an even piece of plywood 100 × 100 mm in size. We fix the bar to it in the center, which corresponds to the length of our level. She should be able to rotate in a circle..

Fix the level on the bar, and the laser pointer to it. For its fastening, you can use the clamp, placing between them a thick porous rubber. Thanks to it, you can adjust the slope of the longitudinal axis using the clamp screw.

How to use a homemade laser level

The resulting device is easy to operate. If you use it on a horizontal surface, then the resulting beam will allow you to accurately beat off the horizon. The stake can be put on the site, and to level it, use the level. Your goal is to help the plank take a horizontal position. The laser pointer should be turned in the right direction..

Once you turn on the device, you will see a dot on the wall. Make an appropriate mark in this place, then turn the bar in the necessary direction. It is important that the stake is still strictly upright. Now you can put a point in a different position. By connecting them, you get a horizontal line.

For convenience, replace the stake with a tripod. To connect the lines, you can use a metal profile, through which a frame for attaching drywall is made.

As you can see, making a laser level with your own hands is not at all difficult. With some effort, you get a reliable tool that is simple and easy to use..
