Hi! I'm Nate. I live near Seattle, WA USA, and love to make things. I am a fan of laser cutting, 3D printing, and electronics. I'll be posting about new laser cut things like D&D accessories or quirky stone jewelry.

I couldn’t resist taking photos when I was making these dichroic cube spinner pendants 😊 #shophandmade

Slow motion dice tower footage 😌

Response to the new dice tower has been surprising and a little overwhelming. Thanks everyone for your support!

Last step is the wire wrapping. It’s a simple wrap but I feel like it does the job.

I’m hoping to try my hand at doing a retail pop-up at a local crystal shop, as in-person sales seem to work better for these, and listing each one on Etsy is a big job.

Oh boy that took a long time to do.

Next comes the fitting, which is a highly organized process (unless your children are “helping”), gluing, and drying.

Then, I arrange the cutouts, and apply a layer style that turns the stone white and adds a thick black outline. On top of that, I add the little hooky guys that I wrap the wire around.

I scanned in 94 stones today to make pendants 🙂

I developed a process that is somewhat quick per stone: I put my phone facing up in my laser cutter bed and put the stone on the lid. Then I measure the stone with a digital caliper, write the measurement with a dry erase marker, and use my watch to trigger the camera.

I’ll add to this thread as I continue through the process.

Here’s all four so far. You’ll have to excuse number 4, he’s gone to pieces at the moment…

A little laser cutter zen. Cutting Pachinko Dice Tower number four, if you count my two first prototypes.
