CUBIC SHADOWS is a PDF book that shows
you how to make a simple horizontal dial, then
the meridian as well as polar, and equatorial
dials are discussed. From this two different
cube dials can be designed. More advanced
than SIMPLE SHADOWS, and at 54 pages, a
TIME'S SHADOW. Cubic Shadows is a free
sample of the main book . . .
This booklet of just under 60 pages consists
of two pages of a STEP BY STEP process, then
extracts from the main book, ILLUSTRATING
TIME'S SHADOW for a detailed table of
contents or here for a chapter index. Cubix
Shadows is one sixth the size of Illustrating
Shadows, but provides a flavor of the main
book.
CUBIC SHADOWS talks of horizontal sundials,
in a do-it-first-then-fix-it-next step by step
process, as well as next discussing what
happens and why it works and then stepping
you through the process. Then it talks of the
vertical dial next, then the polar and meridian
dials, and the equatorial dial. It has a template
for a cubic dial that a handy person can build
in an afternoon. Tables are provided as well
as formulae.

Below is a cube dial using 4x4 wood
but using photoes of actual dials the
author built. This dial is Phoenix AZ
specific, and usually portable dials
are not longitude corrected, however
since larger dials are usually
longitude corrected, this one is also.
This dial is accurate.
