To Roderick Wall and All, Roderick is to be thanked for summarizing the thread on stone and brass engraving he started. The thread was informative, and I hope we have not seen the last of it. The suggestion to summarize and publish the thread in the NASS Design and Construction Forum is another good idea, and has become a work in progress.
I noticed that some of the responses Roderick posted were apparently sent to him personally and not also posted to the mailing list. I'm not sure of my nettiquite here, but I encourage everybody who replies to a message posted here to send a copy back to the sundial mailing list. The address is: [email protected] The purpose of the NASS Design and Construction Forum (DCF) is similar to that of the mailing list; to share and disseminate information. In the case of the DCF, we concentrate on information concerning the techniques, arts, and mysteries of building working sundials. I would like encourage everyone who is involved in sundial construction to consider submitting material for publication in the NASS Compendium. You do not have to be a member of NASS to have your dial published, and the loose categories are: *>ARTICLES - The length of the article will vary with the subject matter, and should include photographs, drawings, or other illustrations. The article should concentrate on the design and construction process. Tell us your concept, the problems you confronted, and how you solved them. *>PHOTOGRAPHS and DESCRIPTIONS - If I can assemble enough photographs, I will devote the Compendium DCF space to a montage of hand crafted sundials with a brief description of each. As a rule, photographs are not returned. *>TIPS - What have you? Send them in. Please also post your tips to this mailing list. Articles, ideas or questions can be submitted via email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Other material can be sent to my postal address: Robert Terwilliger 2963 Bird Ave Coconut Grove, FL 33133-4501 If you think you might have something interesting, but are not sure how to organize it for publication, please contact me. Bob Terwilliger Moderator, NASS Design and Construction Forum.
