Here there be dragons...

[RabidAlien]

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".

Very nice cutting

Steve Good had a dice tower in one of his plans some time ago, maybe that will help some

Hmmm, that appears to be just the index page odd that you can not link to the results page, enter dice tower in the search box and it will come up

I checked a bunch of different sites, forums, boards, etc....never thought to check Steve Good's site!  I'm heading outside to kick myself in the ass a few times...

Been on a carb-free diet for about six months now....I'm afraid I'd eat the noodle and gain back three pounds.  LOL

Very nice cutting! Can't help you about the noodle. :>)

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.

Very nice work there Mr RapidAlien-Kirk! Gives it a classic look I think!
