Dice tray/box
« on: 28 March 2018, 16:41:02 »
This seemed like the best place to post this.

I was looking for a dice tray/box but could not find one I liked. Then I saw a forum post about using cigar boxes. I found an unfinished one on Amazon for $14 after shipping, transferred the image with graphite paper and used my soldering iron, it has different tips I can use, to do the wood burn. Afterward threw a couple coats of clear coat and glued some felt on the inside.

This is really nice. Good job!

Thanks, but no. I almost screwed this one up. But I found it surprisingly easy. Well easy after I watched a couple YouTube videos on making wood burns.

Nice work.  Cudos to taking on the project yourself. :thumbsup:
