Make This: Dice Tower Lid/Tray

This video is a follow up to the Dice Tower video and will detail how to build the lid/tray for the Dice Tower. There are a lot of details in this build to keep us busy like dados, floating panels, box joints, and we even break out some hand tools.

Hi Susan, Thanks for watching and the big compliment. Yes, my wife is a pretty smart Cookie and I am lucky she puts up with all my sawdust!

super jealous of all your tools. must be nice

[@MakeThisWorkshop]

Now that you mention it... It is nice :) I have been a craigslist eagle for about 17 years and acquired most of my tools used or on sale to keep my costs down. When you spread your purchases over time and "collect" over a long period it is amazing how far a little can go. Thanks for watching and I hope you found the video informative.

Was the relief for the finger hold actually necessary in the end? It's aesthetically nice though.

The tolerances on this lid to the box were "piston fit". So when pulling the lid off there is actually a little bit of a vacuum and having the relief for some extra grip was appreciated. However, I would encourage you to make without the cutouts first, if you want to try it, because you can always cut out a grip relief if you want later. Thanks for watching!
