@@BurkeMakesStuff so far made 4 sets. 2 body red mahogany, plugs natural. 2 body golden pecan with red mahogany plugs. Sold each set of 6 for 25$ and they all sold in same day!
@@GrizzlyGoesRawr outstanding! Is that covering your materials cost and labor time? If they sell fast, try raising your price incrimentally! Maximize profits of your work!
It’s actually one of the things that drove me nuts for a while. I made another set, all exactly the same and changed the depth of the Penny hole to be just enough that they are flush with the surface. These old ones we just use around the yard for games
Great video. I made some this weekend. Hardest part is getting the template just right. I used 1/4" plywood with a 1/8" drill bit for the template and then scored the block with the 1/8" bit before stepping up to the 3/4" bit. This worked really well.
Hey Burke great video u were right the finished product of the dice did look amazing...everything was probably perfect nowww I love that u did something that was fun instead of like “u need this” that’s another thing I’ve noticed that in the beginning of every video u say “r u looking for a huge reclaimed wood clock” or something like that. U r on the right track with that but u shouldn’t say r u looking for exactly this and only this make it less specific and more general. That’s pretty much it with the critiqueing side except go into a littttle more detail about safety. But other than that it was a very nice vid
Absolutely possible with the right pennies. Pre 1968 I believe we’re 100% copper. New ones have the tiniest layer of copper on the outside and a fully zinc inside, so any sanding would remove the copper. If you do it, let me know, I’d love to see what that looks like!
03:00 yeah - that depends.. whether your square [whatever brand] is tolerably square or not, shows after you tested it. Machinist squares are in general pretty darn good.
@@BurkeMakesStuff Let it be as square as possible! I think some manufacturers even guaranty a certain precision. And - if accurate enough - it's always worth the prize. Good luck ;-)
hello -you had mentioned that you would put the template at the end - I'm new to youtube so were is the template??Thanks and great video, got some good helpful hints
lovezachrey it’s in the discretion box. Depending on if you’re on a computer or a phone. Either it’s a little arrow that has a drop down window, or it’s down a bit underneath people’s comments. Let me know tat you found it, or I could send it to you if you need.
Hi there. I’ve watched your video a couple of times now. Trying to figure out what epoxy you used and how much of it. I’ve never worked with it before. I’ve been fiddling all week with these dice and painting them isn’t doing it for me. I tried the inlay thing as well but when I sand it, the stain comes off. Help...
My pleasure bud! Glad to be of service. Great video!
Great content! I’m a beginner on my wood working journey and I love doing stuff like this
Simple and profitable! Best of luck!

I love how you got precise with the measurements but not all the dice are the same ❤

On my second round, I marked out the template before rounding the dice edges. Helped a lot.
The pennies were an awesome addition!
I have never even thought of playing in the yard with large dice.... very nice video and very nice dice.
Violet Henning thanks violet. Soo many uses, even just making board games more fun. Chuck em across the lawn and play anything!
Oh dont even start giving me ideas lol. I am a photographer. Can you imagine what will happen to that dice....
Violet Henning would be awesome for a background prop in photos too!
Right on my man!! I'm gonna go get the materials right now.. thanks a bunch.
My pleasure! How’d they come out?
Thanks for the penny idea. I’ve got 5 sets of dove for yard Yahtzee I’ve been trying to think of something to use on the dice spots. Cool video.
Go for it!
I have always wanted to make some. Great video.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Nice video. I have been making a DIY game video each day to pass time in lockdown. I will add this to my list. Subscribed.

That is absolutely freaking awesome. Way too cool. New subscriber here. I thought I'd subscribed to every woodworking channel out there. Nope.

FreeSoftware I JUST ordered one! That’s so funny that you brought that up! Totally agreed!

Made these on my own, came out great,
David Leyerle outstanding!
I wonder if the weight of the pennies cause the number 1 to come up more than the number 6?
I’d be lying if I said I’ve tested them, but it doesn’t seem to effect it. Especially since a penny only weighs 2.5 grams.

It’s called “JB Weld” it’s my “go to” for all my projects. Love it.
Just a dab.
great videos
Anyone know the name of the drill attachment for the holes pls 😊
Fostner bit.
Awsome.
I’m glad you like it!
How much would you sell a set of dice for??
When I batch out a bunch, it’s $40-60 for the set of 6, depending on the time of year
I sold this set, just the 6 dice for $45.
Half the video is about fixing his miter saw
Template want pull up
If you google “yard dice” and go under images, there are hundreds.
