4.0 out of 5 stars
One of the better short sundial books,

This review is from: Easy-to-Make Wooden Sundials (Dover Woodworking) (Paperback)
This is not an advanced or comprehensive sundial theory book, but it does have a good mix of simple, practical projects mixed with a little theory. I would give this as a first book to anyone who is interested in Sundials. If I had only three Sundial books then this would be one of them. My other two favorites are "Sundials History, Theory, and Practice" by Rene R. J. Rohr published by Dover and "Sundials: their theory and constructions" by "Albert E. Waugh" published by Dover.

This review is from: Easy-to-Make Wooden Sundials (Dover Woodworking) (Paperback)
I was looking for a fun project for my grandsons and I to do. The sundials in this book were very simple up to a moderate ability required. All the projects were fun and allowed me to teach measurements, degrees of angles and researching a project along with the other basics. We found our location in the world and adjusted the clocks to be accurate at our location. We are even going to take the projects to our christmas fair this winter. The boys were very excited to see the results of their laber actually at work. I strongly recomend as a project book and a great learning tool.
