Equatorial Sundial DIY Wooden Kit with Compass and Latitude Scale Scientific Model for Education and Desk Decoration
You already have the maximum available quantity in your cart.
This equatorial sundial kit is a practical tool for anyone wanting to understand how people have measured time by shadow for centuries. The individual parts are cut from wood and you will assemble them into a functional model with your own hands. The circular dial features a 24-hour scale, along which the shadow of the gnomon moves throughout the day. The kit combines craftsmanship with science and helps develop skills, spatial imagination, and interest in natural phenomena. The finished model also serves well as an interesting decoration for a desk or shelf.
The sundial consists of a flat base, dial, supports, and an arc with a latitude scale. This allows you to adjust the angle of the dial according to your location, ensuring the sundial is correctly aligned. The set also includes a small compass, which facilitates orienting the dial towards the north. The shadow is cast by a wooden rod passing through the centre of the dial, indicating the approximate solar time. The model is designed for the northern hemisphere, making it ideal for use in the UK.
- Type – equatorial sundial as a kit for assembly
- Material – wood with smooth edges
- Dial – circular with a 24-hour scale
- Adjustment – arc with a latitude scale for correct dial angle
- Orientation – included compass for aligning the sundial to north

- Contents of the package – 1 sundial kit: wooden boards with cut-out parts (base, dial, arc with scale and supports), wooden rod, and compass
When assembling, proceed slowly and carefully snap out the parts from the boards to avoid chipping the edges. Place the finished sundial in a sunny spot on a horizontal surface, use the compass to orient the dial to north, and set the latitude according to the scale. Then, simply observe where the shadow of the rod falls. Protect the model from rain and prolonged moisture, as the wood may warp. Dust can be wiped off with a dry cloth. If you wish, you can decorate the wooden parts with paints or markers before or after assembly to create your own unique design. The sundial can be repeatedly moved and reset at a new location, such as in the garden, on a balcony, or at a school playground.
The sundial is a great way to combine fun with learning and demonstrate how time relates to the Earth's movement around the Sun. The kit is suitable for teaching physics, geography, and astronomy, for school projects, and for crafting at home with family. Thanks to the parts made from natural wood and simple assembly, everyone can take home their own functional model. The finished sundial with dial and latitude scale makes a delightful original gift for budding scientists and lovers of the history of timekeeping.
