How to level unleveled stand

[ndz98]

I built my own stand and it's pretty much all put together. I realized there is one corner of the stand that is not level on the top. I'm gonna guess that's because the pieces of wood from the store are probably not super level to begin with. What should I do to level it?

You could plane that back leg...shave off small bits at a time and check it with a level until it is level

Okay that's what I was thinking too. Thanks!

Or top corner where ever the high spot actually is

I use a belt sander to make sure my final product is smooth and level; plus, I'm not very good with a plane, lol

Do I have to use a bench plane or can I use a adjustable block plane?

 

[Michael Cronmiller]

Block plane works just fine, and the aboved mentioned belt sander what ever you can get easily....you just want to make sure your sufrace is reading level all directions
