[@MakeBrooklyn]

Sweet! They turned out so great that I won't even make a pun about how dicey some of those early welds looked.

[@MattsToyAssembly]

Sometimes you just have to roll with it.

[@CammiesGarage]

I was trying to come up with a pun, but the best I can come up with is, "I am glad you did not die."

[@rattlejake0422]

Liked as soon as Wesley labeled himself "Chaotic Good" Wished I could *like* again for ALL THE OTHER REFERENCES...

[@bytesizedengineering]

This was really fun to watch! Hooray for platonic solids!

[@trevorburford-reade8685]

New Wes? Instant full screen. Always.

[@greener121]

Truely, a TREAT of a project. Nice!

[@wackottl]

I've learned something important from this video. You make custom jigs for everything, I need to do that more.

[@brickdaddiy]

Ginormous and ridiculously cool? Yes please and thank you

[@MyGrowthRings]

So cool and neat edits. I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who can’t keep track of the year we are in anymore.

[@marshalmallow1844]

If there was anything that was going to convince me EVEN MORE to learn how to weld, it was gonna be this video. Finished products look great, whoever gets to keep the D20 is going to be the owner of something very awesome

[@davebauerart]

Oh and I really like the hand rests you setup to keep you in line for the welds. Good idea.

[@parzdiver]

I loved when Bret did the d20 and love your full set! The finish looks awesome.

[@Drunk-Mosquitos]

Those d10s are gorgeous. The whole set is wonderful, but those are my favorite.

[@shawnpgorman]

I see you weld pinkie out. Very classy.

[@rustedfriend]

I really like those custom magnet angle jigs. I'll have to keep that idea in my pocket once I get a welder of my very own.

[@mealex303]

Darth is still inside the d12 😆

[@DrRusty5]

The force is strong holding that one together 😆

[@VampyRagDoll]

A plumb bob. My husband will love the dice, nice job.

[@alexjohnston2401]

Cant wait to see the dice tower that goes with them

[@eddietowers5595]

These are featured in the movie "Godzilla VS Kong" they role these dies for each of their turn while using a large city as their gameboard. Awesome as always Wes.

[@jonwills4670]

HOYVIN-GLAVIN! Professor Frink does it again!

[@joell439]

Really love the plasma and welding fixtures. Thanks for those clever, yet simple ideas I hadn’t ever considered before. 👍👍😎👍👍

[@JTWoodworks]

These turned out great!! This would be one crazy game of dnd

[@mmucciolo3658]

Theatre guy here, first great job, works awesome. Look up an olio curtain drop, might give you some inspiration.

[@right.howdoimakethat6519]

Now you need to build a matching dice rolling tower!

[@stanleyshostak2737]

Next, a giant dice tower!

[@davidurdahl6656]

Lol I was hoping you'd do the devil horns. Great video Wes.

[@idiotluggage]

Those are really cool!

[@JarrodBush-Creator]

Fantastic build! I hope you faired well during the great freeze of 21!

[@mickspencer4171]

Excellent, your welds got better with each one.

[@bp0314]

New video’s please……….. Love your work, your a true artist and craftsman

[@sparkythebuilder]

What a man! Using a plasma torch in shorts!

[@W4TRI_Ronny]

I have a half done Gonk Droid!! (In my mind!) Please come back for pt 2!

[@WesleyTreat]

Hoping to get it done before Makers Camp in October. 👍

[@kennethelliott1277]

Now you need to build a monster kick-ass gaming table. The old fold and stow card table just ain’t going to cut it.

[@chetleonard169]

Those are Clever Mag Clamps Wesley! " you couldn't roll for Initiative" Muwahahaha

[@lisaburnett3368]

Fantastic.

[@b3ardedbarbarian]

As a D&D nerd I fully approve your initiative joke 🤣

[@girliedog]

There is so much in this video that I've learned at least a dozen or more tricks. All I can say is thank you for sharing your skill set with us. One question does muriatic acid remove the scale from the metal?

[@WesleyTreat]

Yep

[@fulviofamiani]

Gary Gygax would love this!

[@curtismakes]

*Exact* same moment I was like "Is he in shorts? Who uses a plasma cutter in shorts?" you got a spark on you ankle and yelled "ow!"

[@WesleyTreat]

When it's 100 degrees in the shop, you risk it 🤷‍♂️

[@rosscurtis8107]

Nice job on All of the dice! I bid on the 20 but had to keep going to gain highest bidder and there’s hours to go! I was going to get rid of my metal bandsaw but you shared several cuts that make sense you use it. Thanks!

[@torinhalsey6313]

Great video. One of theses days I need to try welding. So cool.

[@liroso]

As always your videos & projects are enthralling. Even might not mind a few ads if your free KZbin videos were longer.

[@Sigurther]

Now do a d100! 😅 Kidding! Cool video!

[@cosmasindico]

What a fun project. Just subscribed. Thanks!

[@thisstuffido9141]

Nice work.

[@TheEddism]

Did you leave a hole for the heated air to get out or did you let them cool before finishing the final weld; or do they have a big enough volume that you don't need to worry about that?

[@sgsax]

This was super fun and super cool! Fun video too, had me cracking up. 😂 Thanks for sharing!

[@irvingsmith3449]

I would like to know the angles for the jigs you made for the various dice. Thanks.

[@Ernzt8]

I would love to buy that douse

[@FireCrowsWorkshop]

Damn, you could kill someone with those! Even more reasons to absolutely love them!

[@DrRusty5]

Talk about life and death on the roll of a dice!

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

These are so cool! I had to chuckle a few times. “Hot glue”, LMAO.

[@sueastside]

5:28 Don't forget to take the magnet out before you weld it close, don't forget to take the magnet out, don't forget to take the magnet out,.... 10:54 Called it!

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great film, always enjoyable. The dice that transcend time. Love how you use wood blocks as guides during welding. Good habit to get into. Totally agree with getting a good welding helmet, seeing is half the battle. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@TwistedTwineWoodworking]

This is awesome!! Going to get me motivated to start learning how to weld!!

[@roguecthulhu6002]

I'm old school; I use a d6 for initiative.

[@DimonStudio]

man , amazing skills, i am trying to weld d10. making wireframe, but cant figure out angle between sides, i see you are using angle jig, can you share angle measurements. thank you

[@eo151]

I swear I keep seeing an unwelded seam on the D10, or its a really clean grinding. Nice work! Plasma cutter needs a new sound now that the table saw is replaced.

[@jonathankrimer]

Just a tip. You can use less muric acid by wrapping in (wet) paper towel then in saran wrap. No need for a bath.

[@InstrucTube]

I caught all those jokes and puns, and you should feel bad (my Will save just BARELY passed the check). That said, nice job!

[@McFlysGarage]

Grinder and paint make me the welder I ain’t

[@donaldasayers]

Very tempted to be the first bidder, then I saw the postage/shipping to the UK.

[@WesleyTreat]

Yes, shipping overseas is always very expensive. I almost didn't turn on the option, but otherwise I get people complaining that I only think about Americans.

[@donaldasayers]

@@WesleyTreat Thanks anyway. I don't actually need a giant steel D20, want is another matter... Did you calculate the dihedral angle for an icosahedron, or did you look it up?

[@WesleyTreat]

It's been awhile, but I think I pulled it from my 3D model.

[@davebauerart]

They look great! I keep my cube from Maker Camp to remind me how much I need to learn! I have those HF clamps, maybe they are the secret?

[@christopherreed2868]

how did you make the paint masking?

[@negotiableaffections]

Are these the ones Einstein was referring to? Just brilliant Wes.

[@CondredgeDole]

This is EPIC!!!!! Very cool Wesley. Great way to build the welding skills too :P I might have to try this over the next 2-3 years.

[@42Fab]

I know a guy who sells those D20s all cut and ready to weld

[@WesleyTreat]

Yes, for a DIY d20 like the one Brett McAfee made, head to tinyurl.com/4w5n77uw.

[@philpatrick4519]

Lot's of time travel in this video,, Maybe Wesley modded his welder This Old Tony style?

[@mickleblade]

A grinder and paint makes you the welder you ain't!

[@akalostlove]

Great video one of your best keep up the great work

[@TrotterG]

Moments like 14:06 scare me - I like how you transition to the next clip's audio before its video, but not when your hand is on or near a blade in the previous clip, haha

[@Rouverius]

Natural 20!

[@drhender6943]

I always enjoy your videos! Thanks for taking the time to film and share your projects. Question: Is the lamp you use while welding for your benefit, or for the benefit of the filming? (I am a hack with the flux-core welder, but always looking for ways to improve.)

[@WesleyTreat]

Lots of light to help me see. 💡

[@somedudeRyan]

dicey video Wesley

[@turdsferbreakfast]

Where do you get your band saw blades?

[@WesleyTreat]

Link in the description. The Lenox blades are great. 👍

[@Oleksiy_Konovalov]

Cool project but how about d100?)

[@twardnw]

are you cutting the vinyl stencils on your CNC with a drag knife?

[@WesleyTreat]

I have a vinyl cutter. 👍

[@bernardleighan3218]

There is a reason why your shop teacher told you to wear pants on welding days. And yes I know the feeling of “ owww hot!”.

[@WesleyTreat]

👖🔥

[@fostroggalf]

When you make the matching d20 for the set, you should replace the 20 with your logo.

[@WesleyTreat]

Great idea!

[@darfjono]

impressed you didn't leave any tools inside

[@user-zq6pj5jo8j]

Where is the Ebay link for that D20?

[@mickolay]

Комментарий для продвижения канала в топ. Wesley your videos are awesome.

[@SeraphimKnight]

Next step: making a to-scale dice tower! hah

[@FirstDonkie]

A grinder and some paint, make you the welder you ain't. Much like my m.o. I'm afraid... Nice job!

[@Hey-Moe]

Haha, he said nerds. 👍

[@digitaIgorilla]

If there are the dice, what does the boss dragon at the end of the campaign look like?

[@dgm_making1675]

Can't roll for initiative, hilarious

[@Geeksmithing]

Great inspiration. Hopefully this year I will finally weld. #notaspider 🕷️🤓.

[@SordidEuphemism]

If I won the auction, it would take all my willpower to not put the d20 at the end of a handle for a maul.

[@MrTapanes]

Hope all is well in Treatland. Patiently awaiting your next vid. Really, don't mind me. I'll just be sitting over here. Waiting.

[@sed6]

7:15 Gary? The snail?

[@josephnicholas6159]

I said "oops, I don't think that's gonna work" just as you started welding the third five-sided pyramid.

[@danshavit4510]

I bet this ones won't roll under the sofa

[@imigistx]

Fun stuff. It makes me want to do the same thing. But... What's that, about $250 in steel? 😅

[@rjrfletcher2355]

For the next challenge C60 Buckminsterfullerene

[@jdniedner]

Been a while since a new video...no pressure Wesley. Have you been busy at your day job?

[@WesleyTreat]

Swamped with commissions, but filming a couple for upcoming videos 👍

[@jdniedner]

@@WesleyTreat right on! I'll be patient, I thoroughly enjoy your project videos.

[@SuperVoodude]

12:15 Well I'll double down and say I know they're plumbobs too! 😤

[@Dankey_King]

18:50 You're welcome!

[@petebetts376]

You use something to clean the steel off, once cut to shape, size, can not see it in description what it is...? Please

[@WesleyTreat]

Muriatic acid, diluted with water. 👍‍‍

[@qm230]

I was wondering that too! Not something I've heard about yet

[@Ace-zb5xr]

The 6 sided and the 8 sided die having an underlined 6 will never not annoy me. WHAT'S THE POINT??? I think the percentile dice looked the best. Good job.
