Tool Transformation - A Late 1800s or early 1900s bubble level

I found this neat old level in the shed in our back yard. According to county records, our house was built in 1919, and I kind of wonder if the level was used to build our house. I thought it would be fun to do a quick refurb on it.

It's a Stanley Rule and Level Company level with patents from 1863 and 1872

After the video, I noticed that the horizontal glass was still leaking a bit because the epoxy didn't cover the top completely. So I took it back apart, filled it, and plugged it with candle wax before adding a bit of additional epoxy
