Would it work for me if I turned the box upside down?

This is great and I love how British the writeup is. Right down to designs for Americans, to print on A4 paper. Doh!

There's a whole world of DIY sundials; this one is quite fancy with the multiple dials. Here's a very simple single dial you can make with much less fuss than the fancy one.

There's also a lot of beautiful precise sundials installed around the world. My favorite is the one at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. There's one in San Francisco I've been meaning to visit. Apparently Google's overhead image was taken at 1:45PM.
