I should have added that this is a beautiful dial!

I have long considered one almost exactly like this, if I design my own and
my wife's memorials!

Should we decide instead on cremation, maybe I'll *very permanently* install
it in our yard.

Make it nearly impossible for future homeowners to remove.

Subject: Looking for suggestings on surface treatment of my aluminum cross
sundial "Time to Reflect"

 

Hi Everyone,

 

     I am looking for suggestions on different types of surface treatment
that I could do on my aluminum cross sundial besides powder coating and
enamel paint in the lettering.   I could anodize it but I am not sure it
would hold up in the sun.  Would some kind of light acid etching work or
some kind of staining on the aluminum?

 

     Thanks,

The following is my post from Facebook and link.

 

 

Time to Reflect sundial.

 

     This is a sundial that I been working on for over a year.  I designed
this aluminum cross sundial on CORELDRAW which was saved as a DXF file and
converted to SOLIDSWORK program and CNC by Max Machine of Elizabethtown, PA.


 

      I am still looking at different options for the finish.  I have been
thinking of powder coating it blue-green patina like the statue of Liberty.

 

     This is still a work in progress and is mounted over my well pipe for
now.  I still need to fabricate the mounting bracket and will be bolted to
probably an 18 inch diameter concrete base.  I need to find the right
location or church that will accept this sundial.

 

 

Thanks,

Ken Clark
