I really like this format of briefly showing the process and the final product functioning at the beginning of the video. The audience is immediately able to tell wether they want to sit and watch the whole thing. Very clear and honest. I wish more channels did that. With quality work like this, there's no need for clickbait.
He should build one with a secret button so that when activated it shifts the odds a bit. Like when it's his turn in backgammon it's like click and the chance of rolling a 6 suddenly doubles.
@@artyomgroshev7471nah it’s not that. The way these things are designed aren’t truly random. It depends on how long the button is depressed and how hard it’s pressed. All auto dice are like that. Honestly it would be quite cool to see the distribution. Great build quality tho.
That is a beautiful build! Love that it's being made to chill music, showing the CAD designs at the end, and all the process details. The gadget is also a wonder.
I was wondering where the designs cme from also. He has access to some fancy CNC for brass parts nd engraving. The lathe work is not random. Plans but where?
This is fantastic! I'm sure it's been done before, but I love it. As soon as I saw it, I understood the mechanism, but it was still executed with simplicity and grace. I would treasure one of these. Now if only it could be adjusted, perhaps with a gear shift to roll d2, d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 and d20 so it could be used for D&D. That would be truly spectacular.
You would only need 6, 8, and 20, as there are a few ways to use a d6 to roll for a d3 and vise versa. Meaning you could use 8 for 4, 20 for 10, and 6 for 3 and 12. It would take a little bit more work to use, but would be a lot easier to make and less likely to break if those extra numbers were removed.
@@kane8165Wouldn’t it be better to include 10 instead of 20? Since the 10 could more easily be used as percentile dice as well? For a total of d10, d20, and d100. And you wouldn’t have to include as many spacings on one dial
@@hamstermc7807 Yes, that it is something that I thought about, it just came down to personal preference. The d20 is frequently used while the d100 is one of the least used. So rather than doing mini calculations for every role, id rather just have a d20 and no d100. Although in the end a d10 would still be better because as you said, it would require fewer spaces, meaning be easier to make and less likely to break, and would include the d100.
@speuta8365 probability distribution is different, too. But it can be fun to play a d20-based game with an adjusted probability curve. Makes things more interesting.
I wasn't really interested in this, but UA-cam kept shoving down my throat, i watched it to please the algorithm gods. Now that i have watched it though, i will say that i am quite impressed with the amount of precision that is required to make something like this. I can appreciate it for that at least.
To a new user it would be. Enough practice, getting a feel, knowing previous number, and timing, probably not. But then, just mash it a couple times while not looking for a random number.
Not sure if this is a dumb question or not but… On a dice, 1 is opposite 6, 2 is opposite 5, and 3 is opposite 4 so they all equal 7 and keep the dice balanced. I noticed when laser printing the dice faces you had 5 opposite 2, but 1 opposite 4 and 3 opposite 6. Would this mess up the balance of this spinner??? Beautiful work though!!!
The placement of numbers totalling 7 is not how dice are balanced. They are internally weighted to do so. To help think of why the opposite numbers don't do this, consider the following: cut two opposing faces off a die, the One and the Six) and place one face of the die on one end of a teeter totter and another on the opposite end of the teeter totter. With five more holes in the Six than the One, the Six will weigh less then the One. As such the One end of the teeter totter will go to the ground and the Six end will go into the air. If these faces were still on the die, the One side would again have the tendency to "settle" downwards, giving the Six a higher probability of coming up in a roll. If you google about how dice are balanced you'll find a better explanation!
This is so cool. I think I’m missing something though; what’s making the gear spin? The stop mechanism is well explained but I’m not understanding what’s making it spin in the first place
This is really beautiful! I play dnd so it would be cool to see a version of this that rolls multiple types of dice at once like a d20, d10, d8 and d6. You would probably have a longer window instead of a circle, the dice faces would be much smaller and maybe just numbers, and the higher sided dice would be on the edge with the dice getting smaller as you got closer to the middle. The spinning mechanism would have to multiple toothed saws layered ontop of each other somehow with a stopper that stopper that stops all 4 of them. You could also just do a single 20 toothed saw and create some sort of overlay on the window that marks the center so you know which outcome if the right one if two outcomes appear in the window
Incredible instrument making skills. The CNC is a valuable tool for the engraving. The dice seem to spin without a winding. Very impressive. I have seen other films this gets the subscription. Nice work to see and own
Dang, what a beautiful little gadget. Beautiful craftsmanship. Most expensive d6 I've ever seen, but that's not the point. And you even got the ratchet clipping the sprung lever for that nice additional tactile and auditory feedback. Thanks for sharing, mate
If this is for sale, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss purchasing it. My son enjoys using dice for his tabletop games and the occasional "Let the Dice Decide" dinner.
Where did you come up with the design of the face plates that was lasered in to look like intaglio? I would really like to learn more about this style of design. Thx.
I'm not sure if this was pure coincidence, or really thoughtful editing... but maaaan! You can totally hear the machining noise harmonizing with the music at 8:00 that's just amazing!
It would be huge but I would love this too. Thinking about how I can 3D print one. This is one of the rare times I see something and immediately say out loud "I want this so bad"
@@swankidelic i was immediately starting to think about how i could make the parts at work without investing too much time so i dont get in trouble. I want to cnc but i need measurements.
@@swankidelic I was thinking about it too. 3D printed springs are not great, nor are 3D printed bearings. The rest seems printable and simple enough to copy. I wonder, if you made the "dice plate" sit on a half sphere, and used a string you unwind to make it spin (like all the tiny toys helicopters and spinning top), you might be able to go around needin sprints and bearings ? You'll need a way to rewind it, obviously, but it seems doable...

Agreed!
Absolutely right!
120% agree
No cap, I always dislike those videos. When the clicbait is too shameless I add a _no recommend channel_ clic.
to be honest i skip it , i dont want to be spoiled
Would be nice to measure its randomness by rolling couple of hundred times to see the distribution. Nice project! Thank you for sharing!
He should build one with a secret button so that when activated it shifts the odds a bit. Like when it's his turn in backgammon it's like click and the chance of rolling a 6 suddenly doubles.
Or the chance of rolling the same number back to back doubles. Nothing to obvious though.
Are you saying it’s out of balance?
@@iTeerRex Right? I almost felt insulted on behalf of the machinist when I read that.

Fascinating to see how many steps are involved in creating this. And the result so pretty, and so smoothly operating.
what's the power rating on the laser you use? I'm impressed you can cut out metal like that. does it just take a lot of passes?
I think its a CO2 laser not a diode laser. Those start cutting metal at 400W
I think its more likely to be a fiber laser. CO2 lasers aren't very good at cutting metal@@rsk6929
Fiber laser galvano laser probably 30-50w ..
The intricate details and handling of such small pieces is so beautiful
Not only does it look great, it makes THE MOST satisfying sound. Bravo!
So modern, yet so Victorian at the same time. Love it.
Well done 👍🙂
I'd be interested to see other mechanical "fidget" designs too.

Люблю смотреть, как другие работают :)), но за Вашей работой люблю наблюдать особенно. Красивая работа и изделие.
Hello, do you have an e-shop where we can buy your magnificent creations ?
Elegant, simple, robust, fascinating. It must have taken many hours of meditating the design, and many more to design it. Bravo.
This is one of the coolest things i have ever seen being made! Bravo👏
Impressive 👍 Perfect blend of laser cutting, laser engraving and fine machining. Thanks for sharing 😊
It looks so cool, I wish I could buy this 😭
That was amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing this. The end result is jaw-droppingly beautiful, too. Well done, to be sure!
Holy… this is the one that I want now. It looks absolutely stunning
what kind of laser cutter are you using?
It's always impressive to watch stuff like this.
Super nice! I really like this mechanism and the desing is very neat!
This was beautiful to watch. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing this with us.
what a cleaver person you are enjoyed watching that being made
If machine shop makes it way back to high schools, this should be part of the coursework. Very awesome piece I think students could achieve. Bravo
This was a genuine joy to watch
This is lovely. Also, thank you for showing the CAD demonstration so we could see how it works!
This is magic. Absolutely. Awesome job.
Good way not to lose the dice. Have you tested it statistically to see if it is truly random?
To a new user it would be. Enough practice, getting a feel, knowing previous number, and timing, probably not.
But then, just mash it a couple times while not looking for a random number.
That right there is Art. Just Amazing
That was delightfully satisfying to watch.
What a beautiful peace of precision, functionality and design. Perfect craftsmanship !
wow this would be so amazing to have for boardgames that uses dice, you would never lose a die again. it looks stunning too.
I would love to order a play set of dice in this format. Just amazing.

Beautiful project. Nice vibe.
Would be cool if this was on the back of a pocket watch.
Although I don’t need or want a pocket watch- I just picture this combo.
So relaxing to watch the process and final product such beautiful craftsmanship
This is so cool. I think I’m missing something though; what’s making the gear spin? The stop mechanism is well explained but I’m not understanding what’s making it spin in the first place
It looks to me like the downwards press on the toggle pushes the point on the ratchet down and through the gear teeth, causing it to start spinning.
this is insanely beautiful
Do you plan on selling this dice mechanism on Etsy or somewhere else?
Super neat, nice work, scale it up make a fortune. I would buy one in a heartbeat!
I missed your mechanical wonders, Levsha. Thanks for the great video.
I want one!! Where do I get one??
Outstanding work!
I made one of these on my first day in class in metal shop only it was a bit more ornate Thanks for bringing back memories.

I'd really love to buy this kind of thing. It'd be even more amazing with two wheels that roll separate d6 simultaneously!
I suppose that might be easier done with a wheel having 36 teeth and laser engraving 36 images of all the possible dice pairs.
@@LeMayJosephNice simplifying idea, but rolling two different wheels would be more satisfying!🍻

Beautiful. Wonderful work and a great idea!
A Victorian watchmaker would swoon over your shop & skill. 💕❤️💕
What kind of laser is this because it cuts 1 mm sheets pretty well, I think?
Hello, lovely stuff ! would you be able to share/sell the plans of the mechanism by any chance ?
Many thanks
Hi beautiful made! What was the Paste like material that you used for the pawl axle ?
