So, if you don\u2019t already know what a dice tower is, let me explain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">During a game, there are several ways a player can cheat a roll. The most common way he can do it is by sliding or dropping his dice so that only his desired numbers appear, giving him an unfair advantage during the game. These are called \u201ccontrolled throws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A dice tower is a mechanical device that makes it impossible for a player to control his throws. It typically has 2 sections: the vertical section (the tube) and the horizontal section (the landing tray).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The vertical section or \u201cthe tube\u201d has an opening at the top where the dice is meant to be dropped into. Inside this section, baffles are installed to parry the dice, knocking them around as they fall. These baffles guarantee that players get different results after every roll.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I made a dice tower\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WYE4v29JDzo?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/diceglory.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">At the very bottom of the vertical section, the last baffle pushes the dice out onto the horizontal section: the landing tray.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The landing tray, as its name suggests, is basically where the dice \u201clands\u201d after they fall through the tube, and is where results are displayed for players to see. This section is flat and often constructed with high sides to prevent the dice from falling out.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_Consider_Before_Building_a_Dice_Tower\"><\/span>Things to Consider Before Building a Dice Tower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-125 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Things-to-Consider-Before-Building-a-Dice-Tower-e1613522497280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Things-to-Consider-Before-Building-a-Dice-Tower-e1613522497280.jpg 788w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Things-to-Consider-Before-Building-a-Dice-Tower-e1613522497280-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Things-to-Consider-Before-Building-a-Dice-Tower-e1613522497280-768x193.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Like all inventions, there are a couple of factors you have to consider to ensure that your dice tower is constructed correctly. These are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">The number of dice you\u2019re going to use (in other words, the overall size of your dice tower)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Collapsibility or foldability<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">The type of materials you want to use during your construction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Number_of_Dice\"><\/span>1. Number of Dice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Most board games require the use of one or two dice at a time, so a standard-size dice tower will do you well in this scenario. But if you\u2019re planning to play a game that needs players to use 3 or 4 dice for each throw, you\u2019re going to need a much larger dice tower in-game. This is to ensure that all the dice fall and land consistently without getting stuck between baffles (which can be really annoying during a game).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1-Number-of-Dice.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1-Number-of-Dice.jpg 788w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1-Number-of-Dice-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1-Number-of-Dice-768x623.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Collapsibility_or_Foldability\"><\/span>2. Collapsibility or Foldability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The next thing you\u2019ll want to think about is storage. Leaving your dice tower on a shelf or table or some random place in your house will make it accumulate dust, and that can be really tricky to clean later on. The normal static L-shaped dice towers you see online might not be the best choice if you\u2019re looking for something that is easy to store and\/or portable. To avoid this problem, make sure to choose a plan for a collapsible or foldable dice tower and assigning a designated storage area is essential.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-128 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2-Collapsibility-or-Foldability.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2-Collapsibility-or-Foldability.jpg 788w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2-Collapsibility-or-Foldability-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2-Collapsibility-or-Foldability-768x452.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Type_of_Materials\"><\/span>3. Type of Materials<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You can build dice towers out of basically any material from fiberglass to cardboard, but the most common ones you\u2019ll see are often made of wood or foam board.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">These two materials are great for dice towers for two main reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">They\u2019re both light-weight but durable materials<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">They absorb vibration and can minimize the sound of the dice rolling around<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some dice towers use felt linings or pads for better noise reduction. And personally, I agree with this choice. Often, when playing long-duration board games, the noise that comes from the dropping dice can become unsettling and can easily break your focus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For a better overall gaming experience, I recommend you use some sort of padding for your dice tower.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Make_Dice_Tower\"><\/span>How to Make Dice Tower?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Now that we\u2019ve covered pretty much everything there is to know about dice towers and what factors to consider before building one, we can now proceed to do what you came here to do: build your own dice tower.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Let\u2019s jump right into it!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Make_a_Wooden_Dice_Tower\"><\/span>How to Make a Wooden Dice Tower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wooden dice towers are sturdy and are great for people who enjoy playing around with tools.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-131 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-1-Gather-your-tools-and-materials.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-1-Gather-your-tools-and-materials.jpg 788w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-1-Gather-your-tools-and-materials-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-1-Gather-your-tools-and-materials-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Gather_your_tools_and_materials\"><\/span>Step 1: Gather your tools and materials<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Let\u2019s start by gathering all the tools and materials you need for constructing your dice tower.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">These are:<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tools\"><\/span>Tools:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Clamps<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Tape Measure<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Pencil<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Sandpaper<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Chisel<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Handsaw<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Optional_tools\"><\/span>Optional tools:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Planer<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Table saw<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Materials\"><\/span>Materials:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Good quality plywood of around 6-8 inches<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Wood glue<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Superglue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Optional_materials\"><\/span>Optional materials:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Felt or any type of padding of your choice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Once you\u2019ve gathered all your materials, you can move on to the next step.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-132 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-2-Getting-the-right-dimensions-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-2-Getting-the-right-dimensions-1.jpg 788w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-2-Getting-the-right-dimensions-1-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-2-Getting-the-right-dimensions-1-768x327.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Getting_the_right_dimensions\"><\/span>Step 2: Getting the right dimensions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you stuck by the considerations I listed in the previous section, then you probably already have a rough idea of how big or small you want your dice tower to be. However, if you skipped that section and have no idea what I\u2019m talking about, then I suggest you go back and read it before you proceed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Getting your dice tower dimensions right is possibly the most important part in this construction process because if you get this wrong, your dice tower won\u2019t work the way it\u2019s supposed to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The standard size for dice towers is often 6.5 x 3 x 4, but you can make your own measurements based on your specific needs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For the tube (the horizontal section), you\u2019ll need to measure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">One 5.5 x 4 piece of wood for the front side of the tube<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">One 6.5 x 4 piece of wood for the back side of the tube<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Two 6.5 x 3 pieces of wood for the sides<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Three smaller pieces of wood to use for your baffles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For the landing tray (the horizontal section), you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">One 4.5 &#8211; 5\u201d wide piece of wood for your tray (the length you can adjust depending on your needs)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Four smaller pieces of wood to use as the tray barriers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After you get your measurements down, it\u2019s time to do some cutting.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-133\" src=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-3-Cutting-and-shaving-your-wood-down-to-size..jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-3-Cutting-and-shaving-your-wood-down-to-size..jpg 788w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-3-Cutting-and-shaving-your-wood-down-to-size.-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-3-Cutting-and-shaving-your-wood-down-to-size.-768x439.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Cutting_and_shaving_your_wood_down_to_size\"><\/span>Step 3: Cutting and shaving your wood down to size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A planer and a table saw will make the cutting and shaving process go a lot quicker and can ensure a more accurate shape, but you don\u2019t need them to get things done. If you don\u2019t have a planer or table saw available at home, you can always work with a good ol\u2019 fashioned handsaw and sandpaper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Now, it can be tricky to cut in a straight line when you\u2019re using a handsaw, but it isn\u2019t impossible. One skillful way you can do this is by allowing the handsaw to naturally pierce through the wood without too much force coming from your end. This is because using too much force makes your cuts more shaky and unstable. Remember, your handsaw is a sharp tool, so let it do the work for you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"trick\">You\u2019re gonna want to cut the sides of your baffles at about a 90\u00b0 angle, to make it easier for you to stick them onto your tube walls in the next step.<\/div>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-134\" src=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-4-Putting-all-the-pieces-together-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-4-Putting-all-the-pieces-together-1.jpg 788w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-4-Putting-all-the-pieces-together-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/STEP-4-Putting-all-the-pieces-together-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Putting_all_the_pieces_together\"><\/span>Step 4: Putting all the pieces together<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Now that you\u2019ve got all your pieces cut and ready, it\u2019s time to assemble your dice tower!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Set the back side piece of the tube on a flat surface (either your work table or a desk). Take one of the side pieces and place an ample amount of wood glue on one side.

Although the plans are a bit basic, this tower does offer a couple of cool features, like full lining to improve noise reduction and a magnetic closure. To make this tower, you\u2019ll need plywood, felt, a small magnet, a paper clip, a small hinge, string, glue (I still recommend using both wood glue and super glue), a pencil, and clamps.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-154\" src=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1-The-Classic-Dice-Tower-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1-The-Classic-Dice-Tower-.jpg 788w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1-The-Classic-Dice-Tower--300x284.jpg 300w, https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1-The-Classic-Dice-Tower--768x726.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/diceglory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/dt-1.pdf\">Download plan \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Medieval_Themed_Dice_Tower\"><\/span>2.
