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.
