Research has shown how important YOU are to your children and how as a dad the things you do, and keep on doing, really count, whether you live with them, or you are a single dad and are only able see them once a month, once a week or more, what you do really matters. This site is dedicated to all dads but will be of special relevance to the single dad. Remember, you are half the reason your children exist and they need you whether you live with them or not. As their dad, you have what it takes to make their lives successful and fulfilling no matter how often you see them. This site is about all the positive things that we as parents have to offer our children.

Your Alethiometers
|

I would like to say it looks easy, but I think challenging is more accurate. Nevertheless it is really worth it to put all your modelling skills to good practice and make the best looking Alethiometer that you can.
. . .
It goes without saying (I hope) that if you make an Alethiometer, tell us about it, we love to see a picture of it. So, when you've made one and taken a picture of it, don't forget to post it in your dadcando page.
If any more inspiration was needed, we have already been sent a picture of these two lovely Alethiometers made by Mark for his son Dominic, and made by the Alethiometrist, Danielle.
You can get the plans and instructions to make your own Golden Compass on dadcando,
here.
Dominic’s and Mark’s Alethiometer
Our Alethiometer is made from MDF cut on a CNC router, and the "glass" is a piece of acrylic which I put in an oven and placed over a ring and pressed gently with a cloth to make the bulge.
That is so cool, doesn’t that make you want to make one.
Danielle’s Alethiometer
Oh, have I made an Alethiometer? See the attached pictures. Let's just say I'm a bit obsessed with the Alethiometer. *sigh* I'd love to see your version of it!
Well you don’t have to wait any more… it’s up on line right here on dadcando. I still l love yours though.
