Well, I stupidly realized I was using climb milling instead of conventional. Made that switch and suddenly the parts fit together even before I sand the fuzz off. If anything I have them too loose now.
Sanded a little more and threw some finish on it. I think next time a light coat of satin polyurethane instead of the Tung oil blend. It’s a bit rough still, but I’m getting closer to where I want to be.
Clean lines and few wobbles. What's it going to contain?
But now with magnetic "locking", right?
I like the dark wood a lot better - and it will be even more beautiful once you have oiled or laquered.
May I suggest green or golden dice in it?
@MaryPot I was honestly thinking blue for this one, but I’m not sure I still have all 7 of my blue ones.
Yes, hopefully magnets this time, but I am still having trouble sourcing them in pairs for cheap enough. Easy to grab a bunch for pennies online, but can’t choose polarity until I pay 10x as much.
Round, flat magnets?
I have a bunch of different ones stuck on my desk lamp!
I don't get choosing polarity. Doesn't it just depend on what side you have up/down?
@MaryPot I will probably have to just go with solid discs, which means I don’t need to choose polarity. My plan was to use countersunk ones and screw attach them, which need specific polarities or they just repel instead of attract.
Disks are much easier, aren't they? A dab of glue and job's done?
You could always use some resin to put them in the holes. Would make an even surface and give even the hole a shine.
