Sundials in Transylvania need your help!
Dear Group, Please have a look at my Indiegogo campaign. It's about publishing a book dealing mainly with sundials in Transylvania. The manuscript is almost ready for printing. It will be the first photographic inventory/catalog of sundials in Romania (Eastern Europe). The link is: http://igg.me/at/sundials You can help by sharing the link and funding the project. Many thanks! Dan --- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
Re: Sundials in Transylvania need your help!
Hello Dan, What an excellent project! I have made a minor contribution to show support. Like most people these days, I am wary about internet security and privacy. Most of us are reluctant to provide personal information and credit card information. I did so using PayPal, a known and trusted method of transferring funds anonymously. Best wishes on the success of your project. Roger Bailey From: cerculdestele . Sent: Friday, August 15, 2014 2:55 AM To: sundial@uni-koeln.de Subject: Sundials in Transylvania need your help!

Hi Dan, Beautiful project. I’m also in for a minor contribution. I like paypal mainly because it spares me from having to remember or copy a 16 digit credit card number.

RE: Michael Lee's Herbert Sun Clock in Model Engineer
I will try to find the etching article in my library. Our own Tony Moss is probably the foremost world expert in photo etching. He has uploaded a two-part video on you tube showing the process of etching a clock face with all the information one you would need to get started photo etching brass dials with ferric chloride. I have been following in his footsteps and have succeeded in producing some very nice dials using this method. While I was perfecting my technique, I developed a how to document with detailed information including a list of materials and sources and an inventory of essential and optional tools. If anybody on this list wants to attempt photo-etching, I will be glad to share my how-to document, which is meant to be used a supplement to Tony's video.

Model Engineer Vol 212, No. 4480, 18 April 2014, pp. 574-578. VERY nice article about a SUPERB dial made to Alan Herbert's original design, and how Michael made it. I especially liked the fine detail achieved by etching the lettering and lines. Hand engraving has always scared me (way too skilled for my shaky hands!), so Michael's etching is a real inspiration. *** In the same browsing session (the old fashioned kind of browsing: turning the paper pages of a real analogue magazine!), I came across a very nice detailed article on etching using photo-resists and ferric chloride. The instructions in the article may be of interest to list members: Neil Wyatt 2014 A step-by-step guide to photo etching. Model Engineer, 7 March 2014, pp. 380-384.

And when your bank inevitably informs that your bank card MAY have been compromised, it's only one place to have to update...
