Hand Cutting a D20 from Beautiful Gneiss Stone! 

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much! ♥

Nice!! I'm the DM of two groups at the moment, the longest of which just passed 5 years with the same group! Thank you for the compliment. 99% of dice are made by casting resin, rather than cutting stone, but also produce some absolutely stunning dice. Check out Rybonator if you want some good insight into that process, he makes some pretty amazing tutorials!

@@SageAndNettle I’ll check him out! I do love resin dice because there are some really cool ones and they’re more affordable, but I like stone and metal dice so much more for the weight and feel. It feels like more went into it for some reason

Thank you! I use my CNC machine to cut out vinyl masks for the numbers, then use my sand blaster to carve them in.

@@SageAndNettle Ahh that does make more sense! Great setup you have! Thanks for the reply!

Hah! I was waiting for it! 😂 Thank you!

Absolutely, unfortunately there are quite a few folks in the same industry that suffer from some pretty unfortunate side effects of unprotected work. Luckily, there are only a few steps in the faceting process that put off dust. I have a full respirator that I wear when cutting stones with a trim saw, doing the first major preforming and shaping steps, and when sand blasting (you can see it on my sand blasting cabinet). Once the major material removal is done, the rest is fine to do with just a simple N95 mask. The water that runs across the lap captures the majority of the dust, but it's always better to be safe than sorry!
