This week I built 6 wooden dice. I started with a 1 3/4" thick wood block. I marked each line where I was going to cut the wood into cubes. Then I marked where each hole was going to go to make the dots. After prepping the marks, I went over to the drill press to make the holes first so I didn't have to do it individually cube by cube. I did all four exposed sides. Then I went to the bandsaw to make my cuts. The first two dice I made with the bandsaw did not have straight cuts. So I went over to the miter saw to cut the rest of my dice. When the wood block was getting to small, I made a jig by putting two pieces of scrap wood on either side of my dice to hold them in place. Afterwards, I still had two faces on each dice to put holes into. I lined up my dice in a clamp with a piece of scrap wood under to raise them higher. After finishing 3 out of my 6 dice, I realized that other people were waiting to use the drill press, so I decided to let them use it and figure out another way to make these holes without hogging the machine. I went over and found some nails and screws and thought it would be a fun idea to use them as the markings for the die. I made the remaining three dice with nails, washers, and machine screws. The first one I made broke because the nails were running into each other. The second two I made sure to find the shortest nails and screws to put into the holes. Finally, I sanded all the dice. To continue this project on my own, I would like to paint these and experiment with using water colors on wood. I think that it would compliment the silver tones nicely, while still showing the natural texture of the wood.
