That weighted object can be as simple as a rock or as elaborate as the brass plumb bob shown. Some are bullet- or cone-shaped, but in the DIY world they’re often in the guise of a chalk box or chalk line.Plumb bobs have been around a long time. Egyptians used them to build the pyramids and builders throughout the ages have used them to determine if walls are “plumb” or perfectly vertical. They’re ideal for tasks like centering lights over a kitchen island, determining the proper spacing of recessed lights or framing basement walls.Check out more information and tips on plumb bobs and levels.

To find the center of gravity in order to provide builders with a true vertical line: the plumb line. Plumb bobs are frequently used in construction when you need to find a vertical line. For example, builders might use it to construct uniform stair steps or to check walls to make sure they are straight. Homeowners can use the plumb bob for a variety of DIY projects, such as hanging picture frames, installing a stud, or hanging a door. Just like the design, the uses for the plumb bob have not changed much from the earliest version. The first plumb bobs were used to construct huge architectural structures for one of the most advanced civilizations of the time. For years, plumb bobs were used to survey buildings such as cathedrals and churches. They are still used today in many historical buildings where modern tools would be disruptive — though in some cases, surveyors are turning to high-tech lasers to get their measurements. Historically, these simple tools were used for both horizontal and vertical measurements, but today, the level is a much more accurate device for finding a true horizontal angle. How to Use a Plumb Bob Using a plumb bob to find the true vertical line is not complicated. Here are the steps: 1. Attach the string to a secure surfaceUse a nail or a screw to secure the string of the plumb bob to the uppermost point of the wall, door, or surface that you need to measure. If you’re measuring a wall, leave about 2-3 inches between the start of the ceiling and the nail. 2. Release the stringBring the string all the way down and let go of the weight. 3. Let the weight swing back and forthMake sure the weight can swing freely without touching the floor. Make sure to wait for it to stop naturally. If you touch the string to make the weight stop, you’ll get an inaccurate reading.4. Measure the distance from the wallOnce it stops swinging, use a ruler to measure the distance between the string and the wall at the top and bottom of the string. If the measurements are the same, that means your wall is plumb. If they are different, the wall is not truly straight. A Plumb Bob for the Modern Homeowner Plumb bobs are simple to operate and very affordable. Like a level, this tool comes in handy more often than you would imagine. You can use it to hang pictures, install floating shelves, or hang a new door or window. You can even use it to find out your location with a basic understanding of celestial navigation. Keep in mind that the weight needs to be able to swing freely in order to produce an accurate reading. This means that any sort of wind or breeze will mess up the device and give you an unreliable measurement.The simplicity of this humble tool is one of its greatest advantages. In a pinch, you can use a piece
