I used 1 large clamp to hold wood together as glue dried. One really narrow (guide holes), one the width of your magnets, one 1″ spade bit This was only to make the notches that connect the dice tray and the dice holder. Used to make the main dice holes and to create holes for the corner magnets and screws. You could probably do this with a hand saw but it’d be a bit slower. One piece that’s long and about 1/4″ tall and one that’s about 1″ tall. In the drawings below, I am using the actual height, but it’s the 1″ board. Originally, I thought I was going to need a double layer of wood but in fact this was the perfect height for the dice sets I have. It’s actually smaller than that, about 3/4″ high. That much wood is enough to do this project twice, and still some to spare.Ī note on wood, if you’re new to it. I believe they were 3 feet long but get as short as you can. To make the box in the photo at the top of this page, I bought 1 piece of 1/4″ x 5″ oak and one piece of 1″ x 5″ oak. I went with some hardwood to make sure it was a bit more durable. I have a decent set of tools as well, but nothing that a typical house owner wouldn’t have. But the boxes aren’t terribly complicated and they are a nice keepsake. I think the impact Critical Role has had on D&D accessories can’t be understated. There are plenty of really nice dice boxes you can purchase. I decided I would turn my hand to making a dice box as a present. But I’ve been fascinated with the paraphernalia they use: dice bags, rolling boxes, etc. Delayed both in that I started following Campaign 2 and that I never watch it live (past my bedtime). What I’m saying is that there should have been at least three more pages of Dicebox by now.I am a delayed follower of Critical Role, a live Dungeons and Dragons production. *January was a crazy work and life wise then February was recovery and then snow and sickness delays. And I really can’t see why that regular schedule shouldn’t continue until the end of Dicebox Book 2 : Chase. The good out of all this is there will be several weeks regular, uninterrupted pages updates at starting this Tuesday. Beyond my new MailChimp newsletter, I set up a Ko-fi account for those who wanted to donate but were done with Patreon. Beyond being too agitated to truly focus on work, there was time spent researching alternatives and setting up a fully functional mailing list. In fact, it was t hat whole Patreon fee charging policy change kerfuffle back in December of 2017 that first knocked me off course Dicebox wise. In no way was this a ploy to get people to subscribe to my Patreon. We all now know how well that worked out. I kept thinking I should make a note here and explain, but then I kept deluding myself that I’d get those last three pieces of art designed over the next few days and explain when I posted this two page spread. I had gotten a few inquiries recently about the lack of Dicebox pages at and some noted the locked Patreon posts. I didn’t think it’d take SEVEN pages and yet here we are.* I knew there would take at least two more pages in locked Patreon posts before I felt ready to share pages 6 and 7. As my patrons at Patreon have often seen pages in progress and I really wanted to move on with the story, created a locked post at Patreon and began the next pages.
