      A trusty 4 ft spirit level has been enough to keep things straight and level up to now around my projects so I reckon I will stick with that and it doesn't need batteries either.

        Well....,like I said way up at the top of the post .
        The type laser level that I used works great. But, it is not worth buying one just for one project.
        I am old school too. I have a well used spirt level. Though, I did not find much use for it, while building the actual dome .

        Some parting advice: If you already have the right type of laser level, it is a great hands free way of working the courses into each side of the arch. But, if you do decide to use it, and it works great for you: Don't post your results

            Maybe so, but if I posted pictures of my tool hoard, I would crash the site and my cpu would explode....just sayin.

                    This morning, I started on the "birds" for Thankgiving. Not turkey but, a couple of large baking hens. I am trying something new, at least new for me. I've never really tried dry brining before, but it sounds interesting. When I did a search for it, I saw that it brought out a lot of discussion. I found enough positive comments on dry brining that I am going to give it a shot. This report from the LA Times is probably what swayed me. This is their recipe that goes along with the video

                    Again, I'm not doing turkey but, the recipe they are using was adapted from one for a dry brined roast chicken by Cafe Zuni. My two birds have been salted and sealed in freezer bags and have been placed in the fridge. I did add a little brown sugar, ground peppercorn, ground sea salt and a little Citrus Grill seasoning to the kosher salt. Not pictured, is some smoked black pepper that I added.

                    This dry rub "concoction" may turn out to be a bust! I'll find out Thursday . In case it does,......... maybe........... the ham will turn out OK .

                      ooh. I have had that roast chicken at Cafe Zuni. It's fantastic. I forgot that they did those in their WFO

                        We often roast chickens in our little oven, often two at a time. My son in law won't let us cook chicken any other way. They are so moist in the WFO.

                          Joe,

                          Going to be watching ya closely. With the only the two of us home, turkeys are just too big for us to cook but chickens are just right so interest to see how a dry brine works.

                            Another watching with interest . Brining I'm not a big fan of and offer reading the article I realize why , it is a little to moist and the texture does change.

                              You probably would have "loved" some of the baked turkeys that I have "endured" over the years .
