Finished mounting the prototype double polar sundial. Some lessons learned with drilling the holes - mostly minor alignment issues. All in all - pretty happy with the results. Working on making the patina more uniform.
While I'm waiting on a new stone drill bit to mount my double polar sundial, I thought I'd goof around with some simple equatorial dials built right into some cool stones. Made a trip to a quarry and picked up some interesting stones. Started a new sundial with one of the rocks; mounted the gnomon, calculated the hour lines, and now doing some quick testing before I drill holes to mount the pegs to mark the hours.
