Thanks Chris,
I agree with you that this is an ambitious project but I forgot to tell that
this is a long term project, now I just want to learn more and try to make
smaller sundials.
I have decided to make an equatorial sundial because in my view this is the
better choice in my latitude, I have a great example that is the sundial at
Hong Kong University https://www.ab.ust.hk/fmo/sundial/
It was nice to talk with you and I will not hesitate to enter in contact with
you all if I have any doubt.
Bye,
Leandro Rabelo.

Hello Leandro,
Welcome to the sundial community. A three metre equatorial dial sounds
ambitious, but the geometry is very simple compared with some dials.
I hope we will be able to offer advice, so please post to the list anything you
are unsure about. This could include such practical issues as how to get the
sundial correctly aligned north-south or what materials and finishes are most
suitable, as well as design issues such as how thick the gnomon should be or
problems/opportunities caused by being in the tropics.
Good luck

Hello people,
I read your comments here every day and this is my first time I’m writing to
you. Almost one year ago I saw in the internet a monument at Adler planetarium
in Chicago, when I discovered that the monument was a sundial, and then, what a
sundial was, I started studying about it to try to do one here in my city, I
know that this is an ambitious project but I’m studying for that and I hope
this can become a reality.
I’m planning to make a three meters diameter equatorial sundial to put in an
important place here, I know that I have many things to learn to make an
accurate sundial, but I just want to say that I learned many things here
reading your e-mails and now I’ll study more and more to make my own sundial,
please don’t hesitate if you have any suggestions and when I have news about my
sundial I’ll post here.
Best regards,
Leandro Rabelo
