I agree with Jorge and would add the following.

I don't bother with front tilt as my 1907 Empire state doesn't have any -- so -- I do the following.

Make certain the very centre of your lens is equal to the very centre of your GG. This is important because when you tilt the rear if you have axis tilts it will [should] affect the top and bottom of the image equally.

Compose your scene on the GG [angle the camera forward] and this will give you effectively forward tilt. Focus on a mid distant point of the scene. Now "slowly" move the bottom of the rear standard forward and most of the scene will come into sharp focus.

Another method is to tilt the camera forward and focus on the GG about half an inch from the top. This is the closest object in the scene, now move the bottom of the rear tilt forward and at the same time adjust the focus. Do this a couple of time and everything will be in focus.

A GG is far better than any set of tables, only because I would certainly forget to pack them. All being well my eyes travel with me.
