What happens when you turn dice on a lathe???

This. Interesting....

Neat Idea! A larger bodied pen might have saved a few more of the dots.

All I have at home is slimlines. I'm still learning the ropes and don't have funds yet for more ambitious kits. We just said screw it, and I got my dad in on helping make a square dice pen.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained... Nice first attempt... Keep trying...

Here is a dice pen my brother made a while back, but he didn't turn the dice:

Yeah. That one's pretty sexy. I do have the one we didn't turn somewhere in the forum. Haven't quite figured out how to drop the link or set up my own gallery in here yet.

I just saw that one too... Good job. Looks like you're having fun! Keep it up.

I agree with Phil, a larger kit may have allowed for more of the original units to show through. It's a great idea though.

Beautiful. YOu could not make it bigger and have it fit under the Classic Slimline clip, You did real well and I enjoyed your dice pen.

Thanks for the feedback. Interestingly, it also creates an optical effect where it magnifies the roughness next to the tube and makes it look huge.
