    Restoring an Old Carpenter's Level

    I found an old carpenter's level in my dad's barn and would like to restore it. It is marked Stanley No. 0. It has two bubble vials. The one in the center is intact; however, the one on the end is broken and needs to be replaced. It looks like it can be tapped out with a wooden dowel or...
