Overview Of Straightening With ALINE-SET
The old way of setting lines.
Cut or find three wood blocks at the same thickness. Fasten one stand-off block using three nails at each end of the stud wall. Stretch a line between these blocks. Then use a gauge block to check the wall alignment every 6 to 8 feet. If the wall is straight the line should barely touch the gauge block. After straightening, pry off the blocks and discard being careful of protruding nails.

Now learn a much better way to straighten the same wall!
The New ALINE-SET way.
Fasten two ALINE-SETs using one nail each at both ends of the stud wall. Stretch a line between the ALINE-SETs. Then use a third ALINE-SET to check the wall alignment every 6 to 8 feet. If the wall is straight it will gauge to the same offset. After straightening, easily remove using the claw of your hammer and place ALINE-SETs and nails back in your pouch for next time.
