Hello all:
 
Dave Bell has fixed the error message problem with the Sundial Cupola website URL.  The best URL seems to be this one:
 
We have made significant helpful changes to the Sundial Cupola Master Construction Plan including more dimensions, drawings of individual parts, and lumber requirements.  Also there are now drawings of all the sundial faces and gnomons, and drawings showing how the gnomons are attached.
 
We've included links to FAQ about cupolas which include links to all the cupola manufacturers.  And there are links to other websites relating to cupola installation and construction.  There is now a Technical Information Page and even a PDF showing all the commercially available weathervanes with an astronomical theme.
 
I have written to all the cupola manufacturers on the internet and many are excited very interested in the concept, which is new to them.  It opens more possibilities for their customers.  If any of their customers wants a sundial cupola or tower, I will try to connect them with local sundial designers and makers in their area to help them with their designs, especially with the wall declination measurements and sundial installations. Most of their customers are located back east.
 
I hope one of you gets a commission sundial cupola. Please let us know if you make one or find out about any others, and Dave will post photos on them on the website.
 
thanks,
