I'd say almost any level from a hardware store (like HomeDepot) etc. should
do the job. We aren't talking rocket science here. :)
However you mentioned building one. If you really want to do that, you can
very easliy. All you need is some clear plastic hose long enough to cover
about 2'ish more than you need it to be. Fill the hose with water. Then
hold one end where you want it, and move the other end around. If you have
enough water in the tubing it will seek its own level and you've got a
level.
