Tip: the first time I attempted the box, I used a piece of test softwood. I used the thinner board as both the top and base of the box. To make this project easier for someone of my skill ability, I drilled all the way through the wood. A drawing showing the 6 drill holes to hold a dice set. You probably have one if you ever were given or bought a set of drill bits. The holes are 1″ across and I used a spade bit. That’s plenty of space to hold a set of 6 dice, the standard D&D set (newb error: 7 is the standard set: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, d100(%)). The holder is a solid piece of wood with a bunch of holes drilled through it.

4 x Wood screws the same width as the magnets.

You could recreate this with weights pressed against the wood or with strong rubber bands. I used 1 large clamp to hold wood together as glue dried. One really narrow (guide holes), one the width of your magnets, one 1″ spade bit This was only to make the notches that connect the dice tray and the dice holder. Used to make the main dice holes and to create holes for the corner magnets and screws.

You could probably do this with a hand saw but it’d be a bit slower. One piece that’s long and about 1/4″ tall and one that’s about 1″ tall. In the drawings below, I am using the actual height, but it’s the 1″ board. Originally, I thought I was going to need a double layer of wood but in fact this was the perfect height for the dice sets I have. It’s actually smaller than that, about 3/4″ high. That much wood is enough to do this project twice, and still some to spare.Ī note on wood, if you’re new to it.

I believe they were 3 feet long but get as short as you can. To make the box in the photo at the top of this page, I bought 1 piece of 1/4″ x 5″ oak and one piece of 1″ x 5″ oak. I went with some hardwood to make sure it was a bit more durable. I have a decent set of tools as well, but nothing that a typical house owner wouldn’t have. But the boxes aren’t terribly complicated and they are a nice keepsake.

I think the impact Critical Role has had on D&D accessories can’t be understated. There are plenty of really nice dice boxes you can purchase. I decided I would turn my hand to making a dice box as a present. But I’ve been fascinated with the paraphernalia they use: dice bags, rolling boxes, etc. Delayed both in that I started following Campaign 2 and that I never watch it live (past my bedtime). I am a delayed follower of Critical Role, a live Dungeons and Dragons production.
