About the plumb bob, a pointed weight hanging on a string
A plumb bob is a pointed weight that hangs from a string to show a true straight-up-and-down line. Gravity pulls the weight so the string always points perfectly vertical, no matter what. Builders have used this simple trick for thousands of years to keep walls standing straight. Use it in a building-tools lesson, tracing the path down the string to the pointed weight.
