I wanted to get a sundial for our kitchen garden for the last several years. There seemed to be many choices, all good. Truth be told, I couldn’t make up my mind. I also had several other projects going on simultaneously. I figured I should finish some of those before starting something new.
Fast forward to this summer. I was researching sundials for some other reason when I came upon a company called Scientific Sundials. They looked really cool, and they are completely customizable. I ordered one and it showed up yesterday via US Mail.

I’ll be making a mount for this one and putting it up when I build the new front porch.
This is a very cool piece but I guarantee you are going to hate it when people are asking:”what time is it?” I’d say even with the manual it’ll probably take couple minutes to figure it out, no? Then apply (or not, depending on the season) summer savings time, figure in the longitude etc. etc.

Anyways, this is the first time I see such shape for a sundial. Is the front face supposed to be horizontal or vertical? Which way is up, I’m curious?
