I made a Dice from steel and brass leftovers

[@misterpatina]

It weighs 114gr. (4 ounces; 0,25 pound) 🙂✌️

[@fakebobbyhill296]

A little tip so that you don’t need a reference for the dots on a die. The opposite sides all add up to seven. 1 is opposite 6. 2 is opposite 5, and 3 is opposite 4.

[@Dirk_Berserk]

ok, but what is to the left of 1. or right. underneath.

[@hicham1101]

قمة الدقة و الإتقان ، تحية كبيرة لك من المملكة المغربية.

[@fakebobbyhill296]

@@Dirk_Berserk Well underneath 1 is 6. The other four sides are 3&4, 2&5. It doesn’t really matter which sides you put them on because the die’s weight will be balanced, and it can face any direction. So if you turn it 90 degrees a different face will be on the left.

Надеюсь сталь нержавеющая. I hope the steel is stainless.

Beautiful piece of work and craftmanship. At last someone who knows how analog machining works. No DRO or other digital gimmicks, just experience and craftmanship. Great Job.

Ist gut geworden . Gefällt mir . Hab meine Würfel Löcher 5mm Kugelfräser angesenkt in 2,5mm tief .

[@misterpatina]

Dank dir ✌️

[@brachinusGT]

The hole for 1 should have been bigger than all the others, the holes for 6 the smallest. To have a near perfect dice you want to remove the same volume = mass from every side. This dice will fall on the 6 more often, because the side with the 1 is heavier than every other side. Don't get me wrong, I love to watch your work, I really enjoy it. Keep going!

[@jacqueso8424]

Absolute fabulous job on it, just for 1 tiny detail, i would have done the 'dots' with a ball nose end mill of the same 3mm size, unless you have and wasnt shown in video? Great polish job to finish it off

[@sebastiannielsen]

A suggestion: Fill the dots with something transparent that have the roughly same weight as brass, so the dice become ultra-fair.

[@SuperDavidEF]

Ultra-fair would be a good idea. But it doesn't HAVE to be transparent. Black or red would look good, too!

[@misterpatina]

I will, when I make the d20 dice 😅

[@Galerak1]

Another suggestion would be to pre-drill 4mm thick brass disk blanks with your hole patterns for 1-6. The pre-drilled side of these disks will then be the side that gets pressed into the steel block so the dimples are hidden (it will be an idea to mark them on the blank side so you know which is which). Once you have them all pressed into place drill the 6 side with 1 dimple, the 5 side with 2 dimples, 4 side with 3 dimples and so on. That way each brass disk will have the same 7 dimple's worth of mass removed. A 3mm drill, sharpened at 118° has a tip depth of around 0.9mm, if the dimples are drilled to 1mm that gives 0.1mm for polishing the sides to a high sheen without leaving a step. Hope that makes as much sense to everyone as it does in my head 😂

[@sebastiannielsen]

@@Galerak1 Thats a great idea, even better than filling the dimples with brass-weighting transparent material.

[@Tasarran]

Or not transparent... Filling them with solder would make them silver...?

[@freshcoastdrifttracks6074]

I was going to suggust inserting copper or steel into the divits before drilling. But this is also cool!

[@Sickzero]

Nice work! Mine was metal only, an exercise during my first year of a 3.5 year schooling to become a certified metal worker in Germany! 1ste Lehrjahr Metallbauer Konstruktionstechnik... Everything had to be done by hand, no powertools except a saw to cut the ruff cube and a drill press...
