1/2 Inch is the thickness I used but you can get it thinner.

Hmmm... I had not used my Wilton leveler for years (sporadic baker/decorator) and when I did a couple of weeks ago, the dang blade kept falling out. I see the OP mentioned that the blade is held in place by cotter pins.

I didn't see any cotter pins and don't remember using them with the leveler before, but I'm way past remembering age!! Are there cotter pins with the Wilton leveler? If so, I've lost mine.

If you used the cutting board to make the feet could you get some of those small slide things that you can put under furniture, etc. to make it glide on the counter?

I did the same thing, only I just glued on pieces of 1/2" foam board. It helped stabilize it a little more, but I'm still not too impressed with the large Wilton cake leveler. I think the blade bows as it moves through a dense cake so it ends up cutting little hills and valleys in my large cakes.

I was wondering if there was a DIY version of the Agbay. Thanks for posting so the rest of us don't have to re-create the wheel.

Off to convince my uber-handy dad to make one for me...

Great thread!

I went to the Dollar Tree and found a cheap ($1) cutting board that was perfectly smooth and had no groves or anything. It works great to cut out fondant and gumpast on. I bet that would work for the leveler skis.

Wow! Reading all of this gives me hope again. I will have to go and dig mine out of the closet and ask my hubby to help me. That is where I threw it last time when I got frustrated with it! Thank you momma28!

This is great. Thanks for the tip.

Excellent tip to save a lot of dough, thanks!

Thanks for the tip in the leveler!!

I will tell my hubby and his friend that you said thanks It was his idea. Happy leveling

Has anyone found the UHMW plastic at Lowe's or Home Depot? A salesman at Lowe's said each of their stores has different inventory, so one might carry it while others do not. Can anyone tell me what the intended use is for UHMW?

Could anybody please upload the picture originally posted by Momma28  ?

I just found this thread, and i can't see the picture. Maybe it's been too long - the Agbay has gone up to $229, completely  out of budget for me 

Thanks

Me too. I didn't see the picture, so had no idea how to recreate one like hers. 

Momma28, do you still have the picture of your modified leveler?  Would love to see how it was done, so we could make one, too.  Just can't picture it by reading everyone's thread without seeing the picture.   Thanks.
