On the subject of "things to make dials from", or should it be "things from which to make dials", I have recently made a vertical declining "Hours to Sunset" dial (with a lot of calculation help from Mac Oglesby I must add). I used a material trade named (in the UK) Traffolite. This is rigid 5 ply laminated plastic sheet with the layers in different colours. It is relatively inexpensive, available from, and often used by Signwriters. When you cut through the outer layer, the second layer below shows through as a different colour. I used blue outer with white under. I have never personally seen a dial made from this before.
I can e-mail a photo of mine if anyone would like to sight it. Mike Shaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] 53.37N 3.02W
