With fairly crude construction work (woodworking tools only; no machining equipment), the floating AH that I described in those earlier posts gave errors in altitude of up to 3'. That isn't good enough, but with careful construction and the use of a wetting agent, I don't think 15" accuracy is out of reach.

The accuracy needed is beyond the capabilty of any mirror floating technique.
