看穿骰子拖er

There are dozens of dice tower projects on the internet.

What sets mine apart is the see through front. I decided that I wanted to be able to WATCH the dice tumble down inside, so I used a piece of thin plexiglass for the front.

同样我设计了塔，以嵌在掷骰子掷骰子的托盘内部，以便在不使用时可以整齐地存储。

该项目采用鲜明对比的黑樱桃和硬枫硬木。我喜欢这些树林里的颜色组合。樱桃将随着年龄的增长而变暗，富裕的色调，这将增加树林之间的对比。

如果您愿意，您可以观看这个项目构建的视频。否则，请阅读！

A dice tower is used by gamers to roll dice fairly. Dice are dropped into the top, and bounce of various platforms before rolling out the bottom. A tray at the bottom helps confine the dice so they don't roll off the table.

我开始挑选出一些小樱桃和枫树。我希望塔尽可能光明，所以我将木头复活了一半，然后将其刨了下来。我把樱桃弄得1/4“厚，我让枫叶甚至更薄，瞄准约3/16”。

I built the tray first. The tower needs to built later, so that it can be sized to fitinside托盘。

我用了我的woodgears box joint jigto make finger joints in tray bottom and ends. The ends are left long on purpose, to make it easier to clamp them in the jig.

我涂上胶水并夹住托盘底部并结束并将它们留下干燥。然后，我在枫木托盘侧切割并形成曲线，并粘合并将它们夹在底部和末端组件上。

一旦托盘干燥，我就会从两端仔细切断多余的木材。

With the tray finished, I now turned my attention to the tower part of the project.

More pieces of cherry and maple were trimmed to thickness and sized to fit inside the tray. I will be attaching a piece of plexiglass to the front of the tower, so I allowed for that thickness when ripping the maple strips to width.

然后将枫叶粘在塔的樱桃。

I cut a 30-degree angle on the ends of some leftover pieces of the thin maple strips, and glued them into the tower. (Unfortunately the camera angle on this photo of the miter saw cuts is not the best!) These were just positioned by eye, so there are no measurements to tell you.

A piece of cherry was also fitted in for the bottom ramp, also at a 30-degree angle. For a bit of extra strength, I drilled some 1/8" holes on each side of the tower into the ramp, and then glued in some bamboo skewer pieces as reinforcing dowels.

For the final step in building the tower, a piece of plexiglass was cut to fit over the front. I taped it into position and drilled four holes through the corners into the front of the dice tower. This insures that all the holes will line up properly. The holes were then counter sunk, and the plexiglass was set aside.

我打磨了这个项目，然后把它带到车库上喷洒几层拨浪鼓漆。（这一步没有拍摄。）

As a finishing touch, I cut a piece of black felt to fit inside the inner bottom of the tray. Note that the bottom of the tray had been covered by tape so it was NOT covered by lacquer during the finishing procedure.

I sprayed a coat of spray adhesive onto the back of the felt and then glued it into the tray.

And that is the end of the project. The tower stands up inside the tray when it is used. When you are finished, the tower lays down and fits inside the tray for storage. To use it, just drop the dice into the top of the tower, and watch them roll down.

更多照片随后。正如您所看到的，我也使用激光打印机调色剂转移方法将装饰设计应用于项目，使用丙酮将图像转移到木材上。

我有几个人问计划......

I tend to treat plans as guidelines, and rarely follow them to the letter. Even my own plans. I drew up these plans for the project, but I diverged from them quite a bit once I got into the shop -- the switch to using finger joints on the tray was a major change.

But here they are, for those who are interested.

但请注意：如果您希望两件嵌套在一起，则需要将塔的尺寸放在实际托盘上，您不能再完成所有碎片。观看视频，您将注意到许多次我拍摄实际项目而不是计划。
