Even if you don’t use it for construction, your plumb bob can still serve with dignity:
- Display it: In a shadow box with other tools, blueprints, or photos of your dad’s projects.
- Desk companion: As a paperweight or bookend—its weight makes it perfect.
- Light fixture: Suspend it as a pendant lamp accent (brass catches light beautifully).
- Garden marker: Hang it near a trellis or greenhouse as a nod to vertical growth.
- Heirloom gift: Pass it to a child or grandchild with the story of its origin.
