Re: Sundial Cupolas / Clock Towers

[John Carmichael]

Hello David:   Have you thought about offering a more complete product/service to non-dialists and the general public by supplying both the cupola and sundials?  I wonder if there's a market.   I think I have visited every cupola website there is and nobody offers a fiberglass version. The only materials that are offered are vinyl (less expensive) and wood (more expensive). The woods of preference seem to be cedar, mahogany, and redwood.  The cheaper wooden ones are made from white pine.  Most have copper roofs, but some have shingles.  And most have fittings for weathervanes.   You will be able to get many good ideas on different designs and sizes that are available on these websites and what cupola makers charge for them. Just Google "cupolas".   Let us know if you make one!   Good luck,   John   p.s.  I would never buy a vinyl cupola or anything else made of vinyl for outdoor use.  You should see how the sun destroys vinyl house siding and car roofs here in the desert!     ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: sundial@rrz.uni-koeln.de Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2005 9:24 AM Subject: Sundial Cupolas / Clock Towers Hello all in the UK.  I can supply fibre glass cupolas / clock towers for you to put your sundial on. (could even make and supply a clock for one or more of the other sides.) Please excuse my first ever 'plug' on this group, - but just thought I might be of help.
