Construction of Cube Dial for Austins Wood
- 1. CUBE SUNDIAL PRESENTATION INTRODUCTION The construction and installation of the cube sundial took place over a two-year period (2012/2013). This presentation highlights the technologies used in the making of the sundial. From computers and laser cutting equipment to satellite navigation equipment, a large selection of mechanical aids were also used in the transportation and installation of the sundial.

- 54. The Cube Sundial will form part of a sundial trail of a total of 15 sundials around the Burlingham walks by the end of 2014. This map shows other sundial locations. KEY SUNDIAL SCRATCH DIAL
- 55. FUTURE PLANS & TIMESCALES This letter outlines my future plans to create a sundial trail around the Burlingham Walks. 1) I am at present designing and arranging the building of a polar sundial for Farrows Wood. This should be working this summer, 2014. 2) I have had a meeting with Fairhaven Gardens who have agreed for me to build an equatorial sundial at the gardens. This sundial will be built sometime this autumn 2014.
- 56. 3) St Lawrence’s Centre For Training & The Arts have agreed for me to have a photo gallery of the various sundials on the trail with information about the sundials. This will be available at the end of the year 2014. I should have a total of 15 sundials around the walks by this time – 9 sundials plus 6 medieval scratch dials. A further 3 sundials could be built at other locations in 2015 – 2 declining plus a noon mark.
- 57. CONCLUSION This project will provide an informative, entertaining and relaxing day out for both adults and children. David Payne Burlingham Woods in winter
