Sundials

On the thirteenth of February all of year 9 A
Y where supposed to make sundials.  The work took 3 lessens of work.
I made a small but creative sundial in a group of 2
We used a vibration saw, wood and drill we went from d block all th way to  the wood work room
Did you know that in summer you have to take away an hour off your sun dials
Did you know you can get multiple types of sun dials
I learnt if you have the sun dial in line with the celestial poles it will work all year round
How i made the sundials
1 blueprint  the idea
2 mark the idea on wood
3 cut and drill the idea
4 start assembling and finish it
6 decorate the wood
the fun bit was learning about how sundials worked
i learnt to take my time or else it would not my best work i could do
if i had to do all of this again i would work alone and not rush my work
i also learned that if you are careful enough you may spot that it has 3 layers of tough wood and it does not stay strait but if you have the right drill bit in the drill you might be able to have the gnomon or the stick in vertically
