Michael,
Thank you for the lengthy response.
This will actually be the fifth sundial I have completed (and the 6th that I
have started). I’ve already made a band-equatorial (using “Mayan digits”), two

So, if you make a sundial, shouldn't it just show sundial time? Isn't that
really what a sundial for--showing Local True Solar Time?
You could make a
