Wall
Sundials
 |
These
sundials go to make a
house into a home, and can celebrate many things. Not just true south
facing walls can be catered for. (The one shown is for a wall 30
degrees off of south). To calibrate the dial you will need to measure
the angle of the wall. I will lthen create a template to fix and
verify the angle of the pointer and position of hour marks; with this
verified work can proceed. In addition, the following web-page
has a java application from which a printable sundial can be made to
test prior to work commencing.
The design of the sundial is an interactive design process with you the
client, to produce a totally unique item. Normally a number of full
sized designs are made from which a final decision is made.
The sundial shown is 50cm diameter
Ancaster limestone (~ £60). The large letters are ~
£5 each - total
~£70, with gilding an extra £20. The gilded central
sun is ~ £40, and
the black hour marks £40.
Two methods of fixing the sundial to the wall can be used, either of
which can be seen from the front.
