It weighs 114gr. (4 ounces; 0,25 pound) 🙂✌️

[@fakebobbyhill296]

A little tip so that you don’t need a reference for the dots on a die. The opposite sides all add up to seven. 1 is opposite 6. 2 is opposite 5, and 3 is opposite 4.

[@Dirk_Mcgurk]

ok, but what is to the left of 1. or right. underneath.

[@hicham1101]

قمة الدقة و الإتقان ، تحية كبيرة لك من المملكة المغربية.

[@fakebobbyhill296]

@@Dirk_Mcgurk Well underneath 1 is 6. The other four sides are 3&4, 2&5. It doesn’t really matter which sides you put them on because the die’s weight will be balanced, and it can face any direction. So if you turn it 90 degrees a different face will be on the left.

[@user-yd2vi7me4n]

Надеюсь сталь нержавеющая. I hope the steel is stainless.

[@SirWulfrick]

4 more of those would make the loudest game of Yahtzee ever.

[@misterpatina]

Haha, they’d throw sparks while playing 😅

[@nachtdiertje1972]

Beautiful piece of work and craftmanship.
At last someone who knows how analog machining works.
No DRO or other digital gimmicks, just experience and craftmanship.
Great Job.

[@misterpatina]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate! 🙂

[@thedrakestorm8755]

i wish i was properly taught how to use the lathe and mill in my high school shop class, videos like this one would have made great teaching projects.

[@misterpatina]

Thank you so much! I started with 0 experience, learning by doing :-)

You didn’t roll it…why didn’t you roll it!?

RIGHT?!!!

He might sCrAtCh it

[@geraldstamour1312]

It's 4 ounces, @worldscoolestusernam! It's more like a paperweight at this point!

[@NoReverse77]

It won’t roll even, it’s not balanced like normal dice. Just a beautiful,desk piece :)

[@Sharkdisplay]

Good work, u should change the thambnail and show the beauty of that dice of video 📸

[@manmohansingh1642]

Dice that not rolled.
Great work as always.

[@paulinobenito6905]

Great job 👍

[@misterpatina]

Thanks!

[@sebastiannielsen]

A suggestion: Fill the dots with something transparent that have the roughly same weight as brass, so the dice become ultra-fair.

[@SuperDavidEF]

Ultra-fair would be a good idea. But it doesn't HAVE to be transparent. Black or red would look good, too!

[@misterpatina]

I will, when I make the d20 dice 😅

[@Galerak1]

Another suggestion would be to pre-drill 4mm thick brass disk blanks with your hole patterns for 1-6. The pre-drilled side of these disks will then be the side that gets pressed into the steel block so the dimples are hidden (it will be an idea to mark them on the blank side so you know which is which).
Once you have them all pressed into place drill the 6 side with 1 dimple, the 5 side with 2 dimples, 4 side with 3 dimples and so on. That way each brass disk will have the same 7 dimple's worth of mass removed.
A 3mm drill, sharpened at 118° has a tip depth of around 0.9mm, if the dimples are drilled to 1mm that gives 0.1mm for polishing the sides to a high sheen without leaving a step.
Hope that makes as much sense to everyone as it does in my head 😂

[@sebastiannielsen]

@@Galerak1 Thats a great idea, even better than filling the dimples with brass-weighting transparent material.

[@Tasarran]

Or not transparent... Filling them with solder would make them silver...?

[@weedwacker1716]

That is pretty cool. Now you need to make one out of brass with steel inserts to have a pair.

[@misterpatina]

What a nice idea! 🫢

[@freshcoastdrifttracks6074]

I was going to suggust inserting copper or steel into the divits before drilling. But this is also cool!

[@ScrapRushUK]

Simply amazing, you must have the patience of a saint making things like this.

[@swenneumann7205]

Wunderbar precise carftmanship`s work. Wieviel Arbeit es ist, allein die vielen Punkte genau einzustellen. Der schöne Metallglanz ist der Lohn der Arbeit. Die Vertiefungen müssen nicht gefüllt werden, mir gefällt es so besser. (Spielewürfel sind ja auch ungefüllt, aber Geschmackssache.)

When I was a child, I used to make professional dice without stone tools. I would sculpt them accurately, make them square in shape, and put numbers on them. It took some time.

Absolute fabulous job on it, just for 1 tiny detail, i would have done the 'dots' with a ball nose end mill of the same 3mm size, unless you have and wasnt shown in video? Great polish job to finish it off

[@misterpatina]

Haha, that would be my 2024 project 😅

[@HogartTheRogue]

@@misterpatina this made me realize that we, viewers, do not fully understand and appreciate the time required to make something like this. Partly because you make it look... well, not easy, it's obv a hard work, but kinda quick, in-between thing.

[@misterpatina]

@@HogartTheRogueyou’re right. Making this piece was around 2 weeks. I made a prototype at first to check out which tools/adapters/settings are necessary. After that I could make the 'real' die. But it’s real fun 🙂
