Oak dice

[vestlenning]

Our pickup needed a dice on the dashboard but a plastic one wouldn't do so I made one from oak and finished it with walnut oil.

Nice tho' it is,
a query from me,
why is every side a Three?

In a car they are supposed to be furry hereabouts ...

Nice work though.

I love the three-a-side die.

It means that you always score at least half way. As a glass half full kind of guy that’s good enough for me.

That's great

Awesome. I did something similar myself a few weeks ago but I used beech for my dice.

Odd/prime numbers are the best and as Pattree says it means that you always score at least half way.

You have me curious, what's the game you made the dice for?

It’s a board game you can play in one of the assassins creed games, they call it “orlog”.

That looks great. Very precise right angles.

A few years ago I made some dreideln for my kids. I found the post about it but the images are gone... must have been on a picture hosting service.

Thread 'Got my Estwing, and I've been playing a bit.'

Dec 15, 2005

Well, I was after a new hatchet, and had seen some Estwings in the local DIY shops.

After looking around a bit, I decided that this would be a reasonable tool for further splitting wood that had already been split with a larger axe or with maul and wedge. And it would make a useful tool for hiking or camping.

So I took a trip up to Home Depot, where they were marked as being $32, as compared to the $42 at a nearer shop.

I had to look through all twelve that were on the rack. The grinds were uneven, to say the least...

I picked out the "least bad"; I know I can always tidy it up...
