I really like this format of briefly showing the process and the final product functioning at the beginning of the video. The audience is immediately able to tell wether they want to sit and watch the whole thing. Very clear and honest. I wish more channels did that. With quality work like this, there's no need for clickbait.
He should build one with a secret button so that when activated it shifts the odds a bit. Like when it's his turn in backgammon it's like click and the chance of rolling a 6 suddenly doubles.
@@artyomgroshev7471nah it’s not that. The way these things are designed aren’t truly random. It depends on how long the button is depressed and how hard it’s pressed. All auto dice are like that. Honestly it would be quite cool to see the distribution. Great build quality tho.
That is a beautiful build! Love that it's being made to chill music, showing the CAD designs at the end, and all the process details. The gadget is also a wonder.
I was wondering where the designs cme from also. He has access to some fancy CNC for brass parts nd engraving. The lathe work is not random. Plans but where?
This is fantastic! I'm sure it's been done before, but I love it. As soon as I saw it, I understood the mechanism, but it was still executed with simplicity and grace. I would treasure one of these. Now if only it could be adjusted, perhaps with a gear shift to roll d2, d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 and d20 so it could be used for D&D. That would be truly spectacular.
You would only need 6, 8, and 20, as there are a few ways to use a d6 to roll for a d3 and vise versa. Meaning you could use 8 for 4, 20 for 10, and 6 for 3 and 12. It would take a little bit more work to use, but would be a lot easier to make and less likely to break if those extra numbers were removed.
@@kane8165Wouldn’t it be better to include 10 instead of 20? Since the 10 could more easily be used as percentile dice as well? For a total of d10, d20, and d100. And you wouldn’t have to include as many spacings on one dial
@@hamstermc7807 Yes, that it is something that I thought about, it just came down to personal preference. The d20 is frequently used while the d100 is one of the least used. So rather than doing mini calculations for every role, id rather just have a d20 and no d100. Although in the end a d10 would still be better because as you said, it would require fewer spaces, meaning be easier to make and less likely to break, and would include the d100.
@speuta8365 probability distribution is different, too. But it can be fun to play a d20-based game with an adjusted probability curve. Makes things more interesting.
I wasn't really interested in this, but RUclips kept shoving down my throat, i watched it to please the algorithm gods. Now that i have watched it though, i will say that i am quite impressed with the amount of precision that is required to make something like this. I can appreciate it for that at least.
This is really beautiful! I play dnd so it would be cool to see a version of this that rolls multiple types of dice at once like a d20, d10, d8 and d6. You would probably have a longer window instead of a circle, the dice faces would be much smaller and maybe just numbers, and the higher sided dice would be on the edge with the dice getting smaller as you got closer to the middle. The spinning mechanism would have to multiple toothed saws layered ontop of each other somehow with a stopper that stopper that stops all 4 of them. You could also just do a single 20 toothed saw and create some sort of overlay on the window that marks the center so you know which outcome if the right one if two outcomes appear in the window
It would be huge but I would love this too. Thinking about how I can 3D print one. This is one of the rare times I see something and immediately say out loud "I want this so bad"
@@swankidelic i was immediately starting to think about how i could make the parts at work without investing too much time so i dont get in trouble. I want to cnc but i need measurements.
@@swankidelic I was thinking about it too. 3D printed springs are not great, nor are 3D printed bearings. The rest seems printable and simple enough to copy. I wonder, if you made the "dice plate" sit on a half sphere, and used a string you unwind to make it spin (like all the tiny toys helicopters and spinning top), you might be able to go around needin sprints and bearings ? You'll need a way to rewind it, obviously, but it seems doable...
Dang, what a beautiful little gadget. Beautiful craftsmanship. Most expensive d6 I've ever seen, but that's not the point. And you even got the ratchet clipping the sprung lever for that nice additional tactile and auditory feedback. Thanks for sharing, mate
Incredible instrument making skills. The CNC is a valuable tool for the engraving. The dice seem to spin without a winding. Very impressive. I have seen other films this gets the subscription. Nice work to see and own
It's almost a steampunk writing prompt. A well dressed gentleman constantly checking his pocket watch only it's not a pocket watch, it's a random number generator and it's affecting the world around him...
To a new user it would be. Enough practice, getting a feel, knowing previous number, and timing, probably not. But then, just mash it a couple times while not looking for a random number.
So I can imagine a D&D table top game calling for a 2d6 and then whipping this bad boy out! In all seriousness though, beautiful art and craftsmanship. I bet that it took more than a few minutes to think that design out. Beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this. I love building things and watching things being built. I used to watch a TV show called How it's made and it was my favorite TV show. I am obsessed with building things. It's been my passion since I was seven years old. ❤😊
If there would be a way to make two smaller dice plates independent to each other and both with visible outcomes, you'd have a lot of games to incorporate this into. Like a more portable backgammon or monopoly 👍❤ well thought out and executed

Agreed!
Absolutely right!
120% agree
No cap, I always dislike those videos. When the clicbait is too shameless I add a _no recommend channel_ clic.
to be honest i skip it , i dont want to be spoiled
Would be nice to measure its randomness by rolling couple of hundred times to see the distribution. Nice project! Thank you for sharing!
He should build one with a secret button so that when activated it shifts the odds a bit. Like when it's his turn in backgammon it's like click and the chance of rolling a 6 suddenly doubles.
Or the chance of rolling the same number back to back doubles. Nothing to obvious though.
Are you saying it’s out of balance?
@@iteerrex8166 Right? I almost felt insulted on behalf of the machinist when I read that.

would have never guess that behind it all was such a simple mechanism, its amazing what people are able to come up with and invent!
Fascinating to see how many steps are involved in creating this. And the result so pretty, and so smoothly operating.

The intricate details and handling of such small pieces is so beautiful
awesome now you just need to make a set 1d3-d20 and every dnd nerd would fall in love
Impressive 👍 Perfect blend of laser cutting, laser engraving and fine machining. Thanks for sharing 😊
So modern, yet so Victorian at the same time. Love it.
Well done 👍🙂
I'd be interested to see other mechanical "fidget" designs too.
Not only does it look great, it makes THE MOST satisfying sound. Bravo!

This is one of the coolest things i have ever seen being made! Bravo👏
Elegant, simple, robust, fascinating. It must have taken many hours of meditating the design, and many more to design it. Bravo.
That was amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing this. The end result is jaw-droppingly beautiful, too. Well done, to be sure!
Люблю смотреть, как другие работают :)), но за Вашей работой люблю наблюдать особенно. Красивая работа и изделие.
This is lovely. Also, thank you for showing the CAD demonstration so we could see how it works!
wow this would be so amazing to have for boardgames that uses dice, you would never lose a die again. it looks stunning too.
I would love to order a play set of dice in this format. Just amazing.

Holy… this is the one that I want now. It looks absolutely stunning
It's always impressive to watch stuff like this.
It looks so cool, I wish I could buy this 😭
what's the power rating on the laser you use? I'm impressed you can cut out metal like that. does it just take a lot of passes?
I think its a CO2 laser not a diode laser. Those start cutting metal at 400W
I think its more likely to be a fiber laser. CO2 lasers aren't very good at cutting metal@@rsk6929
Fiber laser galvano laser probably 30-50w ..
This was beautiful to watch. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing this with us.
What a beautiful peace of precision, functionality and design. Perfect craftsmanship !
what a cleaver person you are enjoyed watching that being made
If machine shop makes it way back to high schools, this should be part of the coursework. Very awesome piece I think students could achieve. Bravo
I seen a short of somebody that 3D printed one. But metal working videos are God tier.
Super nice! I really like this mechanism and the desing is very neat!
Gaah!! I need one ! Take my money! 😂 Excellent job
Amazing work and an excellent video with a great vibe. A D20 version will haunt my dreams though.

Would be cool if this was on the back of a pocket watch.
Although I don’t need or want a pocket watch- I just picture this combo.
I missed your mechanical wonders, Levsha. Thanks for the great video.
Love this. Saw an antique version made from a pocket watch and have been thinking about it ever since.
If you made a d20 version you'd have a market in the D&D community for sure.
Thats the best mechanical dice anywhere. If somebody starts seling them, I would buy one or couple in a second.
This is magic. Absolutely. Awesome job.
Wow, this is very elegant for such a simple idea, good job.
2:25 love your high tech tool. 👍😂
This was a genuine joy to watch
Holy crap I love this thing so much that I went to go see if I could buy something similar online. I cant... Please... This must be mass produced!
That right there is Art. Just Amazing
So relaxing to watch the process and final product such beautiful craftsmanship
I made one of these on my first day in class in metal shop only it was a bit more ornate Thanks for bringing back memories.
I just admire how people like you can produce such things of beauty: 👍👏👌!
Beautiful craftsmanship and amazing tolerances.
Thanks for sharing.
Super neat, nice work, scale it up make a fortune. I would buy one in a heartbeat!
*Fantastic craftsmanship and attention to detail* ❤❤❤
Retired machinist. Nice work!
this dice thing is well made, makes me want one
I'd really love to buy this kind of thing. It'd be even more amazing with two wheels that roll separate d6 simultaneously!
I suppose that might be easier done with a wheel having 36 teeth and laser engraving 36 images of all the possible dice pairs.
@@LeMayJosephNice simplifying idea, but rolling two different wheels would be more satisfying!🍻
@@ashotamyan4200 haha it’s true!
A Victorian watchmaker would swoon over your shop & skill. 💕❤️💕
As always.. beautiful, precise craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, what a dicey design!

Great build. Would have enjoyed it a lot more with machine noises only, no music
what kind of laser cutter are you using?
Hello, do you have an e-shop where we can buy your magnificent creations ?

Machinists like this are 100 times smarter than any Dr. or scientist.
Endlich ein neues Video! ❤
Ich liebe Deine Kreativität und Präzision.
Good way not to lose the dice. Have you tested it statistically to see if it is truly random?

Brilliant piece of art.
ingenious design and it would be something that could be fun to carry if it wasnt as thick as a dice... but still extremly cool design
Nice dice watch/roulette ore something you have there. 🤗🤗🤗
I want one!! Where do I get one??
Just beautiful a piece of Art 🎨 beautiful.
Beautiful work! Would be extra immersive-fun when playing a tabletop steampunk role-play game.
Beautiful craftsmanship!
That's an awesome piece.
I bet you could re create the Antikythera mechanism.
I'd like to witness that!
damn, i was looking everywhere for an amazon link to this nice piece of mechanism
