For sure! There's been a few times when I was just starting that not cleaning while working came back to bit me. It super sucks when you get to the final polishing stage only for some bit of rock dust to land on the lap and throw some gnarly scratches into the dice. I learned that lesson pretty quick, haha! 😊

I just started playing in my first campaign a couple months ago, but I’ve always been fascinated by the dice making process because of how fun it looks. This is a beautiful die!

Nice!! I'm the DM of two groups at the moment, the longest of which just passed 5 years with the same group! Thank you for the compliment. 99% of dice are made by casting resin, rather than cutting stone, but also produce some absolutely stunning dice. Check out Rybonator if you want some good insight into that process, he makes some pretty amazing tutorials!

@@SageAndNettle I’ll check him out! I do love resin dice because there are some really cool ones and they’re more affordable, but I like stone and metal dice so much more for the weight and feel. It feels like more went into it for some reason

That gold pop for the numbers is perfect, what a stunning dice!

Hah! I was waiting for it! 😂 Thank you!

Very cool to see the process. Nice video. Are those numbers but by hand?

Thank you! I use my CNC machine to cut out vinyl masks for the numbers, then use my sand blaster to carve them in.

Hard work and trial and error! I also watched a lot of KZread, which helped out a bunch, haha! 😊

I have to wonder, are you in any way concerned about silicosis as a result of the stone dust? Or do you wear a breathing mask while working ?:)

Absolutely, unfortunately there are quite a few folks in the same industry that suffer from some pretty unfortunate side effects of unprotected work. Luckily, there are only a few steps in the faceting process that put off dust. I have a full respirator that I wear when cutting stones with a trim saw, doing the first major preforming and shaping steps, and when sand blasting (you can see it on my sand blasting cabinet). Once the major material removal is done, the rest is fine to do with just a simple N95 mask. The water that runs across the lap captures the majority of the dust, but it's always better to be safe than sorry!
