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 free sample of
the main book, ILLUSTRATING 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.
