Pillar Cube Dial

A Pillar Cube Dial made for the Shire of Eisenmarche A&S championship (a long time ago)


Made out of red oak scrap, and wood burn details.

It had dials set of Lionsdale, Lionsgate, Clinton, Estrella, and Eisenmarche.

The Lions Gate, Lionsdale, and Eisenmarche dials all read the same time due to the close proximity to each other. The Clinton dial only had ~ 4 hours useable time because of the arc of the sun.

The mathimatics, and geometry for all of the dials were the science portion of the competion.

Also had a level indicator w/ plump bob, and a compass to orientate the dial to face due north.
