Richard Kell handmade sundial.

These are made to order, export to Europe or USA is no problem. I tend nowadays to shy away from the associated copper obelisk that you will also find on my website ie http//:www.richardkell.co.uk but thats no problem as most customers are able to get a brick or stone plinth to locate the sundial.

Materials are copper C101 for the two curved arcs and naval brass or gunmetal for the very solid base. The whole assembly is adjustable with a one degree engraved scale on the inner face of one of the side clamping blocks, it being set for your particular location. The dial also indicates the two solstice and the equinox. It is built to last hundreds of years, is of precision manufacture and is finished to the highest standard. Looks as good as a piece of indoor sculpture as it does as an outdoor functioning sundial. My website also details a matching 'equation of time' engraved brass plate.

Ehm... I try to price at what is an accurate and true reflection of the work involved, tho material finishing problems always knock the hourly return down. My metal merchant cannot understand why the material must be without knocks and dints, I have to suffer a high reject/ scrappage rate because of this.

Nice comment though, thankyou.

I hope you were well compensated for that bit of work!
