Hi Tony,
Yes, it would be fun to finish one. I've got a Cowells, an old Atlas and a CNC
Taig here and could probably complete it. The dials are quite nice. I hesitated
to contact you figuring these were part or all of your livelihood.
My current project is finishing a small skeleton clock to Colin Thorne's design
and then I'm more or less free. But then there's John Wilding's Large Wheel
clock to finish too. What drew me to sundials was the wife's desire to have a
design on our south-facing garage wall and a declining vertical dial idea came
up. The machining of it on relatively small equipment proved to be a bit
difficult but it's still under consideration.
This is a great list and I'm impressed by the many people contributing their
time and effort to help others. Contact me off-list for details and thank you
very much!

Hi Douglas,
John's Mini Universal Equatorial was one of a batch of six I
made for the first issue of NASS Sawyer Dialing Prizes (made in gorgeous glass
nowadays by Jim Tallman in Cincinatti)
I still have some un-machined but graduated plates in 6mm brass, part-machined
clamping stems and at least one part-machined latitude quadrant if you'd like
to finish one for yourself.
Pic of a slightly different version attached in low-res'. It's twin was the
prize awarded for the 'Great Sundial Motto Contest'15-ish years ago.
The drawings and artwork were on MacDraw Pro which no longer functions for me
or I'd send you some.

That's rather neat. Of course the reason for the climb is the guy has no watch.
Are there any plans for that sundial? It looks like something buildable on a
small lathe - (a scale model of course!).

A man somehow has managed to climb 30 feet up a shear vertical stone pinnacle
to see this Monumental Railway Sundial!
