Everyone using these or any other level while working on pots are making
sure that the surface that the pot is resting on is level as well? Right?
For example, I'm pretty sure that the floor in my garage (studio) slopes
and I have taken no steps to level my wheel, it works just fine. I can
"true" a pot to the spin of the wheel, but it probably isn't level. That
would also mean that the work table and slabroller are also off level.

Earl - you can bet the surface of the glaze in your bucket is dead-on level!
