RabidAlien Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Two dragon patterns I found on Google. Cut in 3/8" BB ply (I think....they were sized right and came out of my scrap pile). Pieces are stained Dark Walnut with a clear satin lacquer, backer is neon green rattlecan with a clear glossy lacquer. These two will be the front and back panel of a dice tower (basically an enclosed box with an opening at the top and bottom, and angled baffles inside so that when you drop dice in they bounce around and roll randomly, no chance of someone trying to manipulate a roll). The right-hand dragon is shorter to leave an opening at the bottom of the tower for the dice to exit. I'll post a pic of the final product when I get it finished. I couldn't really find any good step-by-step plans, so this was mostly "take a look at a bunch of pictures and then give it a solid try".

RabidAlien Posted August 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Tower worked great! It was a "figure out measurements/dimensions as I go" sorta project, so it's not the neatest or cleanest thing I've ever built, but the cover fits and converts into the dice output tray (keeps them from shooting off the end of the table). Next time, I'll use the Steve Good pattern. bobscroll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
