Appreciation post: I used to fight with a 4-foot level on big vessel sections, but a guy in the yard showed me a string line trick that changed everything.

Know that feeling, man. Struggling with the wrong tool is the worst. So glad someone showed you a better way.

Disagree on the level still being the right tool. A string line is fundamentally different for long runs, not just a trick. The right tool changes the whole job.

Struggling with the wrong tool" is a bit off for me. Sometimes the tool is fine, you just need the right trick to use it. That 4-foot level is still a good piece of kit if you know how. @jesse_lopez14, I get what you mean, but I've seen guys make a level work on huge stuff with a few smart moves. The string line is a great help, but it doesn't make the level useless. It's more about adding to your bag of tricks, not throwing out a tool that still has its place. What was the actual string trick they showed you?
