How to Know if Your Level is Level!

You've got a level you depend on to know if something is absolutely level or perpendicular. But, how do you know if the level is reading correctly?

Simple! Place the level on a surface - it doesn't even need to be level - but it does need to be flat. Then note the position of the bubble in relation to the lines on both sides of the bubble. Also note the position of the level, either visually or by marking a line around each end of the level.

Then, turn the level around, side for side, with the bubble still facing up. Now, look at the bubble again. If it's the same position as before, the level is calibrated. If it's not, then you need to adjust the bubble. If it's non-adjustable, it is time to get a new level.
