Monumental Sundials
| Description: |
These rare sundials can be of any classification, size, shape, and material; some are so large that people can read them from airplanes. They are usually placed in public settings on the ground where people can walk on them or on a building's wall. They can be made from almost any material but usually they are made of concrete, stone, terrazzo, and metal. I design these and assist you with technical details. You are responsible for materials and construction. We supply complete, accurate, and easy-to-read instructions and drawings with dimensions and hour angles. Layout and User Instructions and technical assitance on request. Please contact me personally so we can work out the design jointly between us. |
| Price: | $75 (US) per hour (Intial consultation is free) |
