Popular Post littlecope Posted November 17, 2025 Popular Post Report Posted November 17, 2025 (edited) In 1999 much was rightfully made of the upcoming new millennium that was to begin on 12/31... All the conversation reminded me of something I had always wanted to make, a Perpetual Calendar... This was my first effort... I had stack cut two of these and gave the better of the two to my Parents... About a year or so later, I re-visited making these and made a slightly fancier set... Since it is some ambitious cutting, six sets were stack cut that time... The sets were all given away to Family members and Friends, but I kept this one for myself... There are 10 vertical placards in each set, two versions of the "1", "2", and "3" so as to be able to represent all the months accurately... To demonstrate, here was the switch in 2023 from February to March I've enjoyed "marking the passage of time" with them! There is a gentle, unending rythym to updating the Calendar every month that is somehow satisfying, sort of like waves on the beach (sort of)... Thanks for your time! Comments and questions are always appreciated... 17 November 2025 Edited November 30, 2025 by littlecope Pictures were backwards Scrappile, Dan, JackJones and 8 others 11 Quote

littlecope Posted November 30, 2025 Author Report Posted November 30, 2025 Spirithorse: This Calendar is used to mark months and will work forever... I probably added to your confusion by reversing the pictures demonstrating the month change (it was a couple years ago that the pictures were taken!) The switch was actually from Feb. 2023 to Mar. 2023, not a January to February switch... I apologize for that and corrected it... The Calendar is admittedly 'bare bones' and assumes that the owner knows the actual year, month, and day of the week... In the U.S., the months of calendars always start on Sundays and end on Saturdays, but that is not the case world-wide... but anyhow, this would work regardless of which day of the week a Calendar starts on! Don't know if I cleared that up for you or complicated it even more? Quote
