| The next book is ILLUSTRATING MORE SHADOWS. Whereas Illustrating Shadows focuses on theory and small dials and detailed dial construction, this follow on book focuses on larger outdoor garden sundials using commonly available building materials from any building supply store. There are chapters dedicated to both cube decliners for the garden (16 by 16 inches) and to inclined decliners, and to calendar lin techniques, with all the design methods, and construction notes from start to finish. Inclined decliners will be a piece of cake with this book, and fun to do, and the spreadsheet for the book was completely rewritten to facilitate the process. There is more on TurboCAD, and significant coverage of DeltaCAD programming as well as animation of DeltaCAD drawings as parameters vary. The book is available now. A few sample pages are here. This is about 300 pages, table of contents is here. The sale of Illustrating Shadows, Illustrating More Shadows and their CDs is what pays for this web site. |
