Are you building a nice big Multiboard wall? Great! Cool idea!
Boy, making sure it's absolutely level is kind of a pain, isn't it? And if your first panel isn't level, well, it's just going to look bad once you make it big.
I made a level-holder to make it easier! Here is what I recommend.
- Insert a bubble level of your choice.
- Run a rubber band through one of the holes at the top, tied against itself (see photo).
- Hold the level in place by wrapping the rubber band around one of the bottom T's.
- Insert the entire thing in your Multiboard.
- Now you can easily level your Multiboard panel while installing it!
I recommend anchoring one corner before doing this - it's a lot easier to level it if you're just controlling rotation. I also recommend coming up with one way to temporarily hold it in place (tape?) while marking the drill holes, which I did not do, which is why mine isn't quite level in the photo.
LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES
If you use beefy enough rubber bands and a reasonably light level, it'll happily hold a level vertically, if that works well for you.
Once you've set up one panel perfectly you can extend it with an alignment jig. Be weird if I had one of those too, wouldn't it? Sure would be!
The only caveat is that this requires an 8-wide mount. Perfect for 8x8 boards! Less perfect for other boards. Maybe it should have a peg in each spot? I dunno. You're welcome to remix it, if you're into that!
