Level Vials

Bob, Alan and others,

  To the best of my knowledge, all spirit level vials are made with either
and curve on the inner surface of the vials or with a bend in the whole
tube. Either way the amount of curvature determines the sensitivity of the
vial to changes in angle. If you are going to attempt to make your own
vials, I would consider this.

Bob,
  If you are needing a number of vials, then more opportunities open up for
suppliers. I suggest you try:
