Not Shawn, but you could place the level against the bottom of your group because it is the group that needs to be level anyway.

It actually makes sense that fines left behind in your grinder would be the first thing in the bottom of the basket on your next shot, assuming that there are fines left in the grinder.

And don't forget to measure if it's also level in the other axis.... :wink:

This is the time to pursue your own unique vision-don't pay any attention to those who'll project their own self-doubt onto you by criticizing your efforts or downplaying your potential. Your ability to see things with fresh eyes will be your ticket to making things happen-approach old problems in new ways. If you fail, pick up, try something else, and keep going. You'll need determination, chutzpah, and a strong cup of coffee, but you will make it work
This is worthwhile to read Dave. :) Albeit amusing as well!
