Wooden 20 sided die - Icosahedron

[@TheDadCave]

👍 beginning and ending with the same number of fingers is always a good thing too! Cool video.

[@FridayWorkshop]

Ha. Absolutely. It was harder than I thought it would be.

@@FridayWorkshop route some numbers into those things and I’m sure you would have no problem selling them to the RPG people.

Whoa…amazing job demonstrating this project! When I first heard 21 degrees, I had no idea how you were going to do it while supporting subsequent cuts. You made it looks so easy!! Really an impressive job.

[@FridayWorkshop]

Thanks. Yeah all of the subsequent cuts had a flat side on the bottom. It was actually much easier to do than I thought it would be.

[@MarriedManWoodworking]

Cool . Can’t wait until next week

[@FridayWorkshop]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Can’t wait for Steve Ramsay on your live show.

[@goway9999]

that was incredible. You don't see many firsts on the Internet. But that was the 1st time I've seen that on the Internet great work. I. I really liked at 3 minutes and 5 seconds you could see the wheels in the master craftsman head turning

[@FridayWorkshop]

Glad you liked it. It took a while to wrap my head around it.

[@JARMade]

that's pretty sweet!

[@FridayWorkshop]

Glad you liked it Jesus. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Super job, looks great. You lost me on stage two lol. Tony

Why not use a fence to help get straigher cuts?

[@FridayWorkshop]

That’s not a bad idea but I’ve done so much art by hand on the bandsaw over the years that I tend to free hand things. You should check out the haggerman horse video we did cutting out a horse 🐴 on the bandsaw.

@@FridayWorkshop Thanks for the reply! I'm super new to wood working and have been interested in making a icosahedron ever since I started playing BG3 lol I think I'll go the fening route but that's awesome that you've got the skill to make a damn good one free hand! Thanks for the great content!!

[@woodshopnerdery]

Nice! Very neat project. I wonder if the old bandsaw trick of taping the cutoff back on to support the next cut would have been any use?

[@FridayWorkshop]

Only those last two sides (four cuts) need to be supported on the initial pass. Everything else has a flat side down. It’s actually easier to do than I thought it would be. You just have to be super accurate as a little off and it will make a big difference on subsequent cuts.

[@tacticalhomegrown]

My brain hurts. Cool job.

[@FridayWorkshop]

A six sided die is way easier. Ha.

[@jasonrobb4948]

Dude! Your hands are shakey! Are you alright?

[@FridayWorkshop]

Yeah. A genetic tremor. I still manage to woodwork though. I hope you subscribe and see all the cool things we build.
