RSSPocket sundials
Nice collection of Pocket sundials.
Pocket sundials can be over 1000 years old, arguably making them the world’s first watches - and with no moving parts to break. Typically they were carried by shepherds, where there are a variety of designs, from the French Pillar Sundial to the Tibetan Time Stick.

Any reproductions or instructions for building these pocket sundials anywhere?

Great collection. I designed and built a pocket sundial for a magazine article for ScrollSaw Woodworking and Crafts.
It is in Issue 27 Summer 2007.
There is a downloadable pattern available from the ScrollSaw Woodworking and Crafts website.
There are no instructions there unless you buy the magazine but if anyone needs help they can contact me.
