nice job on the video--but a question: how do you know the knives are
level lengthwise, if you're only checking the midpoint of each knife?

That magnetic jig holds them at the exact height as the table.
The jig is holding the blade on the right and left, so it's level.

Ok--in my experience, tightening the gib screws can skew the knives...

As Mike pointed out, the jig does a good job at holding the knives
flush with the outfeed side. It also prevents skewing as you tighten
the gib bolts. I have seen DIY versions of this magnetic jig. It
seems like a relatively easy one to make on your own with a few rare
earth magnets and a chunk of flat wood. DAGS for more info on making
one.
