After my post of last week and some good suggestions by a lot of you, I have decided to make dice cups and dice for this year's "Deer Camp Party Favors".
Turning the dice cups is going to be no problem. Cutting the wooden cubes to make the dice, no problem. The problem might be how to mark and drill to "spots" on the face of each die. I assume I will use a small twist drill bit to make a shallow recess for each "spot", color-fill the "spot" and then finish. The dice will be relatively small, probably 5/8" or 3/4" cubes.
Any suggestions as to how to accurately mark and drill each "spot"? Some sort of template? Just mark each one separately? What do you think?
Thanks.
