How to Make an Easy Dice Tray | Board Game Upgrade DIY

[@WoodfishToys]

It's a tray, and it's a hexagon, and it stacks! Pick you own pattern to personalize it or match it to a specific game. Hope you like it! My favorite step is when you curve it around and it pops up into a 3D hexagonal ring - I'll never get tired of how satisfying that is!

Can you make it any bigger?

[@WoodfishToys]

@@jonathanfuchikami5799 Yes, I had a viewer send me pictures of bigger versions they made from the same template. I sized the pdf template so that it would fit on a single piece of standard paper, but you could print it out at any enlarged scale (maybe 150%) and tape together multiple pages to make the template. Let me know if that helps!

hexagon is the bestagon!

[@Pindolene]

I absolutely love this!

[@PantsReduction]

You have the best intro I've ever seen or heard. Thanks for the template!

[@EtheraVenlivrenVari]

Tried it out for a game I'm gonna DM for my siblings next week. It's perfect for it and wasn't too difficult to put together either!

[@GClubChannel]

That's really clever and it makes me feel like it's simple enough that I can do it. Also, I love the soothing tone of the video like watching Bob Ross paint. #happylittletrays

[@WoodfishToys]

Haha, maybe all that Bob Ross watching as a kid had an effect on me. Thanks for your comment, and yes, give it a try! Make sure you score the dashed lines very firmly to make the bending process easy.

[@beastdude]

I like how simple this is. And so easily customisable too. Thanks.

[@WoodfishToys]

You're very welcome!

[@jersepe]

Great video; short, clear instructions and a template to download. Well done!

[@WoodfishToys]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked the format!

[@corynardin]

I love how those nest.

Came here from today's Winter Spectacular launch video - just starting to explore your channel now, but I love it so far! Very calming, kind, encouraging voice, nice paper sounds, and pleasant music. I honestly get feelings of anxiety just imagining myself trying some of these (especially the dice tower), but I definitely love the channel and this one looks so useful and pretty simple. I could see myself giving this a try over winter break. Thanks!!

[@WoodfishToys]

Hey James, thanks so much for checking it out and the kind words! The dice tower is the most complex - I'd definitely recommend starting with this dice tray - I think it has the best satisfaction-to-difficulty ratio! Just make sure you glue the paper to the cardboard really well and you'll be fine!

[@RupertAndi]

This is a great idea. Not just a dice tray but you can use it for playing pieces, like those darn virus cubes in Pandemic or the resources in Architects of the West Kingdom. Thank you for this great idea!

[@WoodfishToys]

You're welcome Rupert, I'm so glad you like it! Ya, definitely can be used for components too! I originally had a design with vertical inside walls and it was too difficult to dig out small dice or game pieces. So that use case, along with making them stackable, was what led to the final flared shape.

[@sandraj.m.3447]

Thank you!! I'll try to make one today. Seems I can do it.

[@sirshakletonfury4833]

saw this on BGB and thought it brilliant. Good video. keep it up.

[@WoodfishToys]

Thanks Dom, I really appreciate the kind words!

[@urloony]

Wow, this is great

[@RoryJones]

Your vids are great and high quality! Keep up the good work

[@WoodfishToys]

Thanks Rory! Glad you like them!

[@thedox6324]

You are a genius that is totally sick. Nice Idea will try it tomorrow.

[@BigRedGamer87]

Awesome work! Look forward to your next project. These videos and projects are high quality and I hope more people discover your talent.

[@WoodfishToys]

Thanks so much Brandon! I'm working on a couple new DIY projects now. One's board game related and one's toy related. So keep your eye out for those in the coming weeks.

[@GameVinereviews]

That is so clever! Now I need a how to make a Dice Tower now.

[@WoodfishToys]

You may not have to wait too long... :)

[@amandanguyen3324]

Hi there, I love this idea. this would work for Roll Playing games or any game that used dice, thank you for making this tutorial and free template.

[@TheMegaSkyDark]

Hope you can make videos this good again very soon

[@nonopedraza3263]

Just great. Very useful and nice. Thank you so much. How about a dice tower? Impatient for your new video... P.D.: done and fully operational.

[@shorelessskies]

As an experiment I made one of these using only printer paper (no cardboard) and it works just fine. Obviously, it's light and not as durable, but it's much quicker if you just need to get some made.

[@WoodfishToys]

Ah excellent! That's good to know!

[@ezra1791]

Thank you super helpful.

[@WoodfishToys]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JAV371N]

Excellent

[@Cachorin]

Perfect!

[@CtrlAnimate]

first reaction: "wouw, these look realy good. why haven't i seen this channel before?" *looks at sub amount* "thet should be way higher"

[@WoodfishToys]

Thanks, really appreciate your reaction!

[@Tomek1949]

For the scoring step, you can not only use a knitting needle or a butter knife. An empty ballpoint pen will work too!

[@rash661]

Es una gran forma de hacer un tira dados, luce genial, voy a probar hacer uno. Me gusto como lo explicaste todo de una manera muy interesante para actualizar los juegos de mesa, el video tirando los dados al final es tan relajante que me gustaría que durara mas, Saludos desde México !!

[@WoodfishToys]

Hi Eduardo! It's so nice to hear when people appreciate the videos! I hope you enjoy making the tray. I also really enjoy seeing the dice in slow motion - I could watch that all day!
