Red Dragon Dice Box

[@chriskindlesparger1163]

Knowing Steve is probably out there slingin' 20s makes me happy

[@nicholash4587]

Keeping in the theme of the D&D world, a dice tower would be a cool build!

[@Aleph-Noll]

yeah that would be awesome!

[@jeffcarr392]

Good idea

[@thatfriggingbathroom2656]

Yep, get on with it!

[@aloseman]

Agreed!

[@David_K_Dickson]

One of those rare occasions when I reach the end of a video, immediately rewind, then watch again. Thank you, Steve.

[@David_K_pi]

"I'm going to finish this box with a few coats of spray lacquer." Yep, I'm on Steve's channel. Good! 👍😁

I finally got it! (Y) Today I picked up my very first and brand new table saw! :D A Black and Decker, 1800 watt (15 amp) 5000 rpm, 254 mm (10") blade, and with a very good and precise fence. Exactly the same numbers as the DeWalt had, but this one on sale just costs 1/3 of the DeWalt, and for my beginner and once in a while use, I think and do hope this will be perfect for me. And I couldn't afford to pay more anyway! :D These last 4-5 months watching hundreds of WWMM and other DIY videos for woodworking beginners have inspired me to take up this hobby I had for a short while more than 30 years ago, and 2 months ago I started buying the basic tools and some other materials, and today I finally bought the table saw. (Oh yes, I've used the "1000 dollar workshop" list, though things are a bit more expensive where I live, and there isn't a market for cheap used power tools, but it's okay, I already have more than enough to get started. As soon as it gets a little warmer outside!! Just waiting for the spring to come to be able to turn my outside shed into a place I can start woodworking, and first of all build a workbench, and stay out there for more than 5 minutes without being dressed like I weigh 3 times as much as I do. (25-32 F, 2 inchsz of snow and a freezing cold wind are just too cold to work more than 5 minutes in an outdoor shed without any heat. ;) But I still have a LOT of DIY videos to watch about what to do and NOT to do, and I (almost) don't mind waiting 2 more months to ... make some noise! :D Thank you 👍

[@robertbamford8266]

“Inside groove”. Clever way to get the separated cover to fit. Thanks for the video.

[@taufiqakbar3302]

I agree.

[@alans1816]

It's very nice. To do it, you need that test piece (or careful measurements) and to make sure not to push too hard against the fence as you cut it apart. That would crush the tiny connecting bit and cause a divot.

[@WillyLuedtke]

Thank you Robert Bamford! I was having a hard time wrapping my head around how there was a lip after he routed it off. I must have missed the explanation. You cleared it up with just your comment. I feel kind of silly now. 😂 Thanks again!

[@robertbamford8266]

@@WillyLuedtke you aren’t alone. I had to go back and watch it again before I realized the significance if the inside groove - that was not a rabbet.

[@scottjones462]

Well I still don't get it. I wish you slowed down a bit right there 2:47 ish so I can see the offset?

[@ironwood1621]

2 things I bought when I got my first table. A Grrripper and a digital angle guage. Thanks, Steve.

[@Segarra17]

Wyatt is going to be really happy!

[@daniel_bohrer]

Most woodworkers would have put that knot on the bottom. I like that you put the knot on the top.

[@chance9979]

Those adhesive backed felt pieces cut really nicely in a Cricut. You can draw out your dimensions and run it through. That also allows you to create cutouts for any interior features, such as dividers.

[@dnngskn62]

Nice box grasshopper.

[@taylorjes]

Classic Steve Video... Practical project, clear plan, quick execution... This type of project is why I got into woodworking... I need to go back to this

[@JeremiahBess]

This has got to be the best KZbin channel. Not just because your projects and videos are enjoyable to watch, but also because I have yet to hear you say the words "like", "share," "subscribe", "notification bell", or "Patreon". Other channels need to learn from your example. Thanks for the work you do to put these videos out Steve, keep it up!

[@dansliwa6832]

I have some random cigar boxes that I use for storage in various locations. With this technique I could replace them all with custom boxes in exactly the size I want. Thanks Steve, for making it simple to understand!

[@michaelflynn9849]

The coolest way to create a friction-fitted lid that I have ever seen. Thanks Steve.

[@bobert2999]

DnD and woodworing! Two of my ABSOLUTE favorite things. I made my wife a dice tray with depressions for each type of dice with my router, and a circular rolling platform in the middle. Good thing I used heavy clear coat - because her metal dice are already giving it tasteful battle scars!

[@riuphane]

My new favorite project from you...

[@dkbuilds]

Love this video format. Full project build, short video duration, packed with useful info (like cutting the lid off the box with a router to immediately get the top fitting onto the bottom lip in one pass). Thanks for this Steve!

[@michaellinahan7740]

Steve, it is good to see someone making boxes out of what I would call 'normal thickness timber' and not the 1inch thick sides popular with other makers. This box is strong enough for the purpose and, while joinery on timer this thin can be problematic it just takes a little more thought and care. Well done.

[@yvettewallus119]

Steve, I tried your brown paper buffing technique on lacquer and was blown away by how nice it turned out. Definitely a quick and easy way to finish a piece and infinitely better than fancy products that take careful application and hours curing. Thanks for that tip.

[@robertmartin8710]

It's like a mashup of two of my favorite things - D&D and this channel.

[@JonnyDIY]

Never knew how a box and lid were made to fit like that. Awesome! 💕👍

[@RicoResolves]

So I just came across your channel, and I guess I found myself a new hobby. There's one thing I wonder though. You decided to lay the bottom in the ridges, and then glue it together. What was the reason for you to do it from the outside rather than creating a ridge, and then placing the bottom in from the inside giving it more strength (because it would lean on the ridges)? Is there something I'm missing?

[@KSFWG]

Function (purpose) of boxes will determine Form (aesthetics or design). This box isn't designed to hold 40 heavy drill bits, it was designed to hold dice or board game pieces that are probably made of plastic or other light weight material. The top and bottom of the box/lid are inset and that gives two gluing surfaces for strength. It also allows the box to remain square while the glue sets. Often, with mitered corners, as the glue sets, parts can slip or slide, especially if using a bar clamp, because often the clamping pressure on one side of the miter might be greater than the other side. It's difficult to get the clamping pressure equal. I hope I answered your questions. :)

[@tuckleberryfinn5271]

Steve, I'd love to see you build a dice tower to pair with those dice. There are so many designs out there and I'd love to see your take!

[@Stran8n]

Watching Steve build something is almost as cathartic as building something one's self.

[@benvinje]

Really liked this one. Seems very doable by everyone, and that image transfer dresses up the plywood so nice. Looks like a million bucks.

[@halsonger1317]

Steve, it might be a nice project to show how to make a small parts holder for the router table. They aren't hard to make using a toggle clamp and keeps your fingers a safe distance away from the spinning router bit. It would fit in with your table saw push block as another useful safety device.

[@KryssCom1]

Anything that combines D&D and WWMM gets an automatic upvote from me.

[@TarEcthelion]

Classic ending. Almost felt like after the sound of foot steps there should have been a click for the lights before black. ;-)

That inkjet transfer technique is something I've got to try. Great looking box, too. The thin wood does add a lot.

[@reallyanti]

I really like how there's no long drawn out intro. Good video man.

[@pteddie6965]

ReallyAnti, I am with you. I hate opening up the videos of many KZbinrs and having to watch and listen to several minutes of some 'hokey' intro that they have before their video.

[@David_K_pi]

Yeah, but I miss the Micro-Jig intros. 😁

[@pteddie6965]

@@David_K_pi Absolutely, David. The Micro-Jig jokes were hilarious, to be sure. One of the things that I appreciate about WWMM is that he never got into the long, video productions at the first of his videos. A lot of KZbin content producers think that we want to watch these long drawn out intros. I always skip past them. Stay safe, David.

[@sallybryan3754]

Your dust collection system is cool man

[@sirgermaine]

You can make the felt feet way less likely to come off with even a very small indentation by a properly sized forstner bit. With 1/8 inch plywood that might not be practical here but with even 1/4 inch you could put a tiny indent in with the smallest bit that fits and keep those feet in place for longer.

[@loteknomad5032]

Absolutely love this kind of quick project. Building little project boxes, or storage containers like this is one of the primary motivations for my interest in woodworking at the moment. Beyond opening up the ability to make these sorts of things for personal use, this sort of skillset seems like it gives you the ability to create exceptional gifts for friends and loved ones. The kind of gift you could pair with nearly any passion or hobby. Do you like DnD? Let me make you a box for your dice. Do you like carving wood? Let me build you a case for your chisels. Do you like making jewelry? Let me make you a display case for some of your favorite creations. SUCH a cool skill to have.
