when you snap a brass screw in your dice tower build, you just gotta roll with it, James

The perfect video while the kids watch some Saturday morning cartoons and I clean the kitchen. Cool project, James.

Cool project! The clear sides are a nice touch. Where's the carving on the back of the tower, though?

You seem to be on a roll with this video ;)

Can't argue with building a dice tower...

Great project. I'll be making one for my son-in-law

If you slather a small amount of paste wax onto the screw threads, they will go in much easier with less friction...

I've found, when using brass screws, if I first drive in and back out a steel screw of the same size I reduce enormously the chance of snapping off the soft brass screw heads when I drive those in. It's an extra work step of course, but it's paid off for me many times.

Dittos! I've done the same thing. Brass screws are pretty, but not very strong. Sometimes I will lubricate the screw too with a little bit of solid soap. This helps them go in better with less friction.

You could make a dice tower look like a castle and maybe where the dice end up a moat. Ohhhh, ahhh. Or, do a LOTR Sauron tower. So many options.

I would add a dice catapult to launch them into the top of the tower from below.

Skill check roll proficiency with carpentry tools.

I think I am going to make one of these, only thing different is to glue up some felt to the inside walls so as to save the dice a little injury.

Awesome to see that you are a gamer. Beautiful dice tower.

I was about to ask if you did some tabletop role playing. I've always wanted to but I find it so difficult to get into a character. I'm so monotone as well that I know it won't help, unless I wanted to go for a Deckard Cain role "Stay awhile and Listen!" then give a boring math lesson lol! Good job on the tower!

Thanks for the great video! This is the dice tower I imagine making.

How about a wooden card shuffler next?

I've thought about building one of those, but haven't seen one anywhere. Would love to see that. 😎

Looks fun! I have an RPG fan in my house, so this could end up as a gift. But.....I'd probably make it 3 feet tall!!!

I built a dice tower a few years ago. My first oak project instead of the box store 1x or 2x wood. I find that it's a bit loud, so I went to a craft store and got a sheet of thin foam to put on the entry area at the top, on each platform, and one on the output tray. Quiets the dice quite well.

Hmmm, foam to quite dice fall, that's an interesting thought.

I thought about putting a window in my dice tower, but haven't done it yet. Gotta make a new one one of these days. Nice work. Enjoyed the video. ❤👍

Very neat idea, ALWAYS looking for small little things to make from my wife "scrap" like

Only a sadist would expect you to drill out and countersink all those holes, great build power tools are not demon spawned

I love it. Thank u

Really beautiful work, James! It turned out amazing! 😃 Some day I'm going to have to make something like that! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

If you're using your hand brace and you break your bit, is that the woodworking equivalent of rolling a 1? ;)

ROFL! Good one! 😜

I think I'll make this to help practice various woodworking techniques away from the shop. Want to practice sawing? Roll 11 or above for a perfect cut. For every point below 11, roll to figure out which direction the cut is off. 1 or 2 and the cut is too far to the left or right. 3 or 4 and the top of the cut is tilted to the left or right. roll 5 or 6 and the front of the cut is to the left or to the right. Roll again to get the magnitude of the error, multiplying by 2.5 degrees for an angular measurement, or one sixteenth of an inch. But if you roll two sixes for this, you accidentally use metric instead of imperial, or vice versa. For every year of experience, subtract one from 11. More simulations can be purchased separately in the expansion packs.

If you're D&D character isn't a carpenter/woodworker I'll be very disappointed.... Love the video. I'll make one of these for my friend who plays.

Super

I've been using my brace to drive screws... works wonderfully for rough carpentry projects in construction lumber. No splitting even without predrilling.

Nice 😊 I love it .

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries! In electrical engineering there's the Nyquist Sampling Theorem. It turns out to also apply to saws. The tooth spacing should be less than half the thickness of the material you're cutting so there will always be at least two teeth engaged with the cut. You can incline the saw a bit to make the cutting surface up to 40% longer.

Could you please tell me the measures of the pieces and especially that of the width of the tower? I’d really like to try to make this tower for my son. Thanks!

the only ones that I measured were the 9" high and 9" long. the front lip is 1.5" high. everything else was jsut eyeballed to fit and adjusted as needed. the whole thing is 3.5" wide.
