I've already gotten my money's worth out of my laser level. I spent the last 1.5 hours tweaking until I've got both sides parallel and the top and bottom within 2 mm.

Now I have to undo all that because I messed up. I thought I had the projector close enough to square, but now the image is lower than It was before and I messed up by not checking the lense shift, which was adjusted all the way up. I need to hack 4" off the tube.

I may also put a larger section of pipe around the support column to make it look like one tube instead of a pipe with two connectors.

I talked to the guys in the paint section of the hardware while I was there tonight and they suggested what I was thinking to make sanding easier. Just do a light coat with some drywall mud first and then all I need is a light sanding. That's way less work than trying to sand down years of rough paint.
