Wooden equatorial sundial

I had a laser cut sundial in our garden, but it was destroyed.  No matter, it didn't work well in autumn.  I made a wooden replacement sundial.  Equatorial sundials are easy to lay out, since all of the hour lines are separated by 15 degrees.  You can quickly draw the plans directly on a piece of wood, as I did, with a compass and protractor.

One small point is that the dial itself will be semicircular.  To ensure that I got everything aligned first, I drilled the center of the circular arc. Even though the center will be cut out later, this way I can sight through the gnomon to ensure that everything is in alignment first.

Then I cut out the pieces,

and traced the hour lines.
 

To ensure that the hour lines are visible, I filed them into the dial.

I also woodburned them so that they are clearly visible. I also traced a vertical line so that I can install it on its mounting pole correctly.

Here is a test fit.

Once I was happy with a tight fit, I installed the gnomon, which is a 1/16" brass wire.

Finally, I put a single nail to join the two pieces.

And installed the completed sundial in the garden!
