Hello All:
After nearly two years of work, my large stained
glass sundial (The Gecko Dial) is finally installed in the bay window
that we made especially for it at my home in Tucson. It is only the
2ond permanently installed stained glass sundial in the United States.
(The other one is in a private home in Tennessee).
With help from my stained glass teacher and her
husband at Ocho Stained Glass, we installed it on New Years Day. To avoid
cracking during installation, we moved it on a piece of rigid particle board to
prevent flexing.
The gnomon is still under construction, but tests
with the gnomon prototype showed that it keeps the correct time and
date.
You can read all about it and see photos of the
installation and the installed dial at www.stainedglasssundials.com or
