Sundial for the garden

Thanks to "scratch" for helping me discover thinks that I didn't know I needed

I built this Sundial for the garden I used his "link" to calibrate it to the local Lon/Lat . It's 18"dia, 26" tall all out of 10ga. with some random "Sign torch" art work.

Great job, especially on the stand. Mine was kinda boring...

Edit: By the way, this is the reason we should be posting what we make. Somebody comes up with an idea, then someone else comes along, borrows that idea, and takes it to another level, giving the original "idea-commer-upper" and everyone else, improvements on the original design.

Thanks, AKPilot. seeing what you have done, my sundials will not be quite as boring. Now I'll jazz them up a bit.
