Hello Mike,
Those are all excellent points, but in my mind the most important
attribute for a sundial is whether or not it's a pleasing object to
look at, for most of the time it won't be sunlit. Here in Vermont a
sundial is lucky to see the sun 15% of the hours in a year. Heck,
half of the time it's night!
Best wishes,
Mac
P.S. Tony's dials are always pleasing to see, sunlit or not.
Fellow enthusiasts,
I get really annoyed about the sundials that I see on sale in garden
centres here in the UK.
The people who make them seem to have no conception about how they work.
As they are invariably horizontal dials, I thought I would put a
"Buyer's Guide" to such dials on my web site.
I think there are 5 golden rules - have I missed any?
Check it out - follow the link from my home page.
Helpful comments welcomed.
