The plumb bob is believed to have been invented by the ancient Egyptians around 2000 BC. It was used for creating vertical reference lines in construction and surveying.
The plumb bob is useful in establishing vertical for a wall in construction or a doorjamb when hanging a door. It can indicate whether a flue is running true vertical or veering off plumb. A plumb-bob or a plummet is a weight, usually with a pointed tip on the bottom, that is suspended from a string and used as a vertical reference line, or plumb-line. It is essentially the vertical equivalent of a water level.
A plumb bob is a weighted instrument used in construction and carpentry to create a vertical reference line. It helps ensure that structures are built accurately and in alignment with a true vertical.

Yes it does! :)
It is not known who invented the plumb-line or plumb-bob; there is evidence that it has been in use since biblical times and archaeologists haveÊunearthed what they think are plumb gaugingÊtoolsÊin Ancient Egypt.
The plumb bob has a long history, with early versions dating back to ancient Egypt and Greece. However, its modern design, with a pointed weight suspended on a string, is believed to have been developed in the 16th century. It became an essential tool for builders, surveyors, and architects for ensuring vertical alignment.
Hammer, saw, a framing square, drill or brace and bits, something to measure with, a block plane for smoothing, plumb bob, a level is nice but not required. A plumb bob and square lets you do anything you need to do. What is required or available depends on your location. For hundreds of years, a hammer, saw and plumb bob was all that was needed. A plumb bob gets you the vertical and a piece of string gets you horizontal and square if you want to get to basics. Today, there are all the electrical tools that do a lot of the work for you and workmanship is becoming harder to find.
Plumb as in "Plumb a door frame or cabinet?" Plumb is having something 90 degrees to level. The floor is level and the door frame, the vertical, up and down part is plumb in relationship to that. I'm sure this term comes from using a Plumb Bob. That's a heavy pointed ball on a string.. It will always show you the plumb line. Haven't heard the term used in plumbing.
To use a plumb bob to find the correct fixing point, the bob must be suspended from an area above the desired point. Once it has stopped swinging, one can mark their preferred point against the line. This will ensure a straight line.
