DND-I-Y - Bocote Dice Box... Wyrmwood style.

Had fun making this replica of Wyrmwoods Adventurers Vault. Design credit goes solely to them. I utilized hobbiest woodworking tools in this video. Hope you enjoy!
This is my first entry in DIY woodworking projects for DND and MtG. Stay tuned for the next project.... Deck box!

Seeing the slot mortises done that way... 🤯 Great video! It came out awesome!

[@SylvanWorkshop]

You manufactured inspirado!

[@pjoco-bc4ir]

Great video and build. This has helped get me into woodworking and inspired me to build dice vaults or trays for all of my players now!

[@SylvanWorkshop]

pjoco0708 that’s great to hear. It’s an awesome and rewarding hobby. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@cody-kun836]

Hello fellow Cody. Great video man. I love how it turned out, and want to see more. If you want to stay on the DnD path, a dice tower would be awesome.

[@BlessedLaymanNC]

Great video. I loved how you used the drill for mortising. It's ashamed that this is your only video, I would love to see more.

[@connorminihan9627]

Great video! I’ve been looking for a a tutorial just like this! Thank you for the guide!

[@hyperionhelios190]

Hey! It's a Shopsmith! That is a nice 520. I have two 510s.

[@SylvanWorkshop]

Good eye! Change my setup a little bit got a lot of use out of that drill press mode!

[@hyperionhelios190]

@@SylvanWorkshop I definitely wasn't expecting to see a Shopsmith when I clicked on this video.

Great work mate!! look terrific. I might have to have a go at one myself ! cheers.

[@SylvanWorkshop]

68cristian go for it, and if you have any questions post them on here!

Thanks Cody.

Nice video, I was having trouble with making a design, this helped a lot :)

[@SylvanWorkshop]

Snow Spider Man glad I could help! Thanks for watching.

[@basildaoust2821]

Hey, it seems like you have this all figured out except maybe how to mount a fan to blow away all those wood chips, that would drive me batty, especially the large bit, wow. I know you never mentioned it but I trust the drill press had a depth stop set so you couldn't dill too deep by mistake that would sure make a mess.

[@SylvanWorkshop]

💯 right on the dust! I had an air hose that I was using to shoot away the cuttings but a fan would have helped further. Especially during the routing. Also, correct, there is a depth setting I had adjusted during the Morticing on the drill press.

[@nbeutell]

Looks great! Just out curiosity, why use a cheese cloth to apply your finish? You could just use it dry to wipe down your piece to remove any left over dust and apply finish with a lint free rag.

[@SylvanWorkshop]

You're probably right. It's specifically what the finish called for on the can. The idea is that it's a process that requires two or three coats. Cheesecloth is pretty disposable and since the finish is wax based the friction of cloth helps with warming the finish during polishing. Similar to a French Polish.

[@martym3815]

Hey mate, what kind of router bit did you use for cleaning out the mortises?

[@jamUSA24]

Great work! It looks amazing. Hey Cody what size of forstner bits you used for this project?

[@SylvanWorkshop]

Let me check

[@RoseKindred]

Nice video. What is that workstation you are on? It has a table saw and drill press together?

[@SylvanWorkshop]

RoseKindred I built this on a Shopsmith machine. It was a great tool for getting started in woodworking. They are also very easy to find second hand!

[@RoseKindred]

@@SylvanWorkshop Thanks for the info. I looked it up and it is a neat system. I thought it was like a one set up tool that had two stations combined.

[@vatal2174]

Looks great, what was the thickness of the wood you used?

[@SylvanWorkshop]

Andrew Harris Appreciate it, 3/4 inch.

[@Goodman314.]

Dude, how can you do the mortise and edge forming if you only have a freehand plunge router and not drill press? Also can you provide the dimensions of the over all box ? And depth of the mortise ?

[@SylvanWorkshop]

Here is Wyrmwoods official dimensions from their Kickstarter page ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/020/061/819/92919a9649b09ea56f4666a5fdf9d066_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-2.1.0&w=680&fit=max&v=1517410665&auto=format&gif-q=50&q=92&s=10ae91f0461970b27800b829c6768e07

[@SylvanWorkshop]

I believe the mortise depth I used is around .625". Remember using .75" stock you could go a bit deeper if needed. As far as only using a plunge router, my first thought would be to make a cutout / stencil out of thin stock or plastic to give your router guide something to ride in and fix it on top of your work piece. There are a few youtube videos that provide instruction how to create a mortise with a router and router guide as well.

[@JennaDanelle]

Where do you get your magnets and what size are they, awesome build!

[@SylvanWorkshop]

Hi, I found them on amazon. I believe the brand was Rueloc 8mm x 3mm. They have other options which you can screw in (counter sunk). Might want to look into those as well. Thanks!

[@JennaDanelle]

@@SylvanWorkshop thank you so much!

[@roseroth9510]

Any chance you can post what magnets you used??

[@chrisbianculli3465]

Is that the kobalt router table?

[@SylvanWorkshop]

Good eye! Auction special!

[@kineticbrass4803]

Hey great job on the box. What are the dimensions of the box interested in building this in my woodshop class

[@SylvanWorkshop]

Awesome, let me know if you end up changing any steps. This was my way of figuring it out, but I’m always interested in improving. Good luck!

[@kineticbrass4803]

@@SylvanWorkshop I will say if it turns out well

[@volatilesky]

@@SylvanWorkshop I did similar but I got a snowball effect of "well I could just make templates to route out.... But now's I need to upgrade the router table... This will make a lot of dust so I need to create a special dust collector for under the router table..." I'll get around to it though, I'm nearly at the point of cutting wood again!

[@SylvanWorkshop]

@@volatilesky I totally know what you mean... Been trialing some MTG deck box designs and thought how much easier it would be with a spline jig. So now making a spline jig and the box gets pushed back further!

[@weiwei08]

Hi, I'm learning to use a router and I was wondering what router bit you used to create the grooves in the sides to help you open the box? Thanks!

[@CameronForrester]

A cove bit works well.

wow. your audio sucks. sometimes its barely legible, other times its REALLY LOUD. :/
