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_Mcgurk]

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_Mcgurk 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.

[@МаксимМорозов-л6л]

Надеюсь сталь нержавеющая. I hope the steel is stainless.

[@nachtdiertje1972]

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.

[@misterpatina]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate! 🙂

[@SirWulfrick]

4 more of those would make the loudest game of Yahtzee ever.

[@misterpatina]

Haha, they’d throw sparks while playing 😅

[@thedrakestorm8755]

i wish i was properly taught how to use the lathe and mill in my high school shop class, videos like this one would have made great teaching projects.

[@misterpatina]

Thank you so much! I started with 0 experience, learning by doing :-)

[@colinbuck8687]

Watching that pressing adapter slip onto the vise was sooooo satisfying.

[@icealchemist9122]

D20 metal dice. This is the real challenge👍

[@misterpatina]

Challenge accepted 🙂

[@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!

[@JamesEPaulley-ns1ej]

All I can say is that’s beautiful craftsmanship !!! 👍😎

[@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...?

[@manmohansingh1642]

Dice that not rolled. Great work as always. Masterpiece

It won’t roll even, it’s not balanced like normal dice. Just a beautiful,desk piece :)

[@anthonyshiels9273]

my mechanics made an 8 ball from steel and brass. He said that the ball would be affected by the different densities of the materials used.

[@vanpenguin22]

I love polished metals as it is but the contrast between the steel and the brass is just stunning. Now i want a pair of those. But with copper inlays.

[@matthewalexander2436]

As a superrealist oil painter, I really do appreciate perfection and attention to the tiniest detail. Your work is exquisite bro. You got quite a pair of hands on you sir. Well, well done... And please keep em comin! ❤💪❤

that is a beautiful piece of art work suitable for any museum.

[@n01celticfan18]

TURNED OUT WELL LUCKY DICE

[@weedwacker1716]

That is pretty cool. Now you need to make one out of brass with steel inserts to have a pair.

[@misterpatina]

What a nice idea! 🫢

[@freshcoastdrifttracks6074]

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

[@fall22123]

I've never seen a die where the numbers face the other way on the 6, 3, and 2 sides. I had a thing for making dice for a while. Believe it or not, I have a titanium one I made in my hand right now. I see you made yours to match the plastic one, so it's all good.

[@ScottDBarrett]

Well done

[@misterpatina]

Thanks!

[@iimditton]

if you choke up on that boring bar it will be much more rigid and give you much cleaner cuts because of less chatter. It will also increase the lifespan of your tooling. Awesome work! Would you consider doing a video where you cover the actual polishing process? Your steps on how you go about getting a nice polish or what you may use?

[@misterpatina]

Thanks! Oh, I just sand to ~2000 grit, after that i polish with white and blue compound. Nothing special.

[@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...

[@misterpatina]

Haha, ich erinnere mich gern an meine Lehrgänge zurück. Bin Karosseriebauer :-)

[@SeraphimKnight]

Feels like you could have saved yourself a lot of trouble with the dots by just setting up a stop in your mill clamp, doing all the middle dots with punch and drills, then aligning the punch for the corners dots and doing those and finally doing the middle dots on the 6 face... In the end you really only need 3 setups for every single dot on the dice.

[@bobsbillets]

Clear coat it so it stays shiny and doesnt rust!

[@ScrapRushUK]

Simply amazing, you must have the patience of a saint making things like this.

[@paulinobenito6905]

[@misterpatina]

[@V3lpr0k]

0:34 tip : you dont need to using you hand ,just turn the machine on keep spinning and put the saw in and let it cutting for you

[@misterpatina]

Haha!

[@airwolf1]

magnifique, bravo

[@DavidCadena-h1l]

Sweet. Nice demonstrstion of your lathe and milling skills.

[@amigodora]

If all the holes on the dice were the same, the 1 side would be heavier, so I think it would be easier to get a 6.

[@joshuaortiz5204]

I love these little items made from steel like the eightball I saw on another channel. They come out looking great.

[@andersonparks1390]

Wunderbar precise carftmanship`s work. Wieviel Arbeit es ist, allein die vielen Punkte genau einzustellen. Der schöne Metallglanz ist der Lohn der Arbeit. Die Vertiefungen müssen nicht gefüllt werden, mir gefällt es so besser. (Spielewürfel sind ja auch ungefüllt, aber Geschmackssache.)
