Okay, my husband is a complete genius! I don't have the funds for the beautiful Agbay levelor but the stupid Wilton (large) was giving me fits! Every time I would try to use it the blade would "climb" so one end of the cake was a different height than the other. grrrrr! ![]()
I knew I couldn't afford the fancy cool one so my husband took a look to see if he could help. After examining the blade he pointed out that it's just stamped out and there is a ridge on it which causes it to climb.
Then he went to the hardware store and bought some supplies. He took the blade off and replaced it with wire (I'm not sure what all his steps were but if you want to know I could ask him).
Long story short, I now have a wire saw that works perfectly!! I leveled two 12x16's and two 14's and they are all perfectly level and torted straight! I even put a torpedo level on them in all directions and they are perfect!
I love that man! ![]()

I'll try to get the info and pics.
Is there a way to delete a post you've made? Obviously he's the genius and not me since I somehow posted this twice!
Fran,
I saw your other post...........go to it, and at the top to the right, you should see an "X" for delete...........as long as no one has posted to it, you should still be able to delete it........
Thank you!
What a fantastic idea! I have the large leveler too (because I was desparate and needed one). While I havent noticed that mine climbs up, it still seems to be less than perfect. I really like my small wire leveler (wilton). Makes perfect sense!
I'll talk to him and get instructions (and photos if possible). I don't know how soon it will be up but I'll try for sometime this week. I'm working on a cake for this weekend and you know how that goes. ![]()
Well IMHO there are three ways you can go with this...(she says with tongue in cheek hoping everyone get's her joke.)
1) Patent the thing
2) Sell the instructions (Personally I would go for the second one....I'm thinking Melvira and her roller method really missed the boat.) ![]()
3) Or do as Melvira did and write a tutorial for us for free....... ![]()
If you can do your directions, perhaps I'll be able to find a handy person to make one for me, since I just do layers on occasion.
Well, layering on occasion becuase I don't have a leveler & I use my kitchen knife!
It's like living in the dark ages for baking!! ![]()

Your husband is brillliant!!! I too have this problem and have been ready to throw the large leveler out the window several times!!! Please, please, please post directions!!!
I finally got all the directions and pictures now I don't know where to put it? Do I just put it all in a post? There are several pictures with the directions, it would be quite a long post and I'm not sure I know how to keep the pics with the instructions. (He's the genius, not me!
)
You can just reply to this post. Do it a couple times if you don't think it will fit in one. Keep in mind that if you post multiple pictures in one reply, start with the last one and post them in reverse order because they will show up last one first.
