How do I make an armillary sundial?
1 Answer
To make your very own armillary sundial, first, take two hoops and mark 90 degrees apart on each hoop. Then, glue the two hoops together at the marked points. Lock in a straight piece of wood between the two, set your device at 45 degrees and voila! Or, save the hassle and shop a selection of collectable armillary sundials on 1stDibs.
