A few years ago, I bought some software to make sundials with, which I did, in glass. The software also generated Astrolabes, and as soon as I saw them, I knew I had to make one, although making one from glass was a bit impractical. I wanted to make an ancient instrument from modern materials.
Now I have the technology…. here it is, made from Baltic Birch and Acrylic!
If you’d like to get hold of one, here is where you can do so: https://www.etsy.com/listing/871520237/astrolabe
If you already have one, or are curious about what they can do, here are some (actually quite a lot of) instructions: https://wavytail.com/astrolabe-instructions/ (this link is also under the ‘Laser Arts’ tab on the menu above).
