Has anyone tried a water level along the back of their box blade?
I figure a 9' piece of 1/2" clear (tygon) vinyl tubing across the back of a 6' blade, with 18" white angle iron ends stands on the blade corners, and blue food coloring would be a real easy way to see if the blade is level.
One would use a vial level and get the blade level, then mark both angles at the water line. (filled to 9" from the blade top.)
It would let someone trim the T-N-T real easy. Just watch one corner and keep the water line at the mark. With a ruler scale and some math one could even use the level to set a grade.
Do you think it would work?

P.S. I ordered an 7-11 Extreme Gulp cup, but the mahnet company has a lot of curved magent models. Is there one post that tells the whole instructions for a Chalkley cup?
