This is my first box. I wanted a fun and geeky box to hold my dice. I knew people had done 6-sided dice so I wanted something different. I cut the pieces to the box on my scroll saw (though any bevel-capable saw would do), then glued together the halves. The two sides are held together by pairs of strong magnets. The numbers are engraved and painted. The box itself is oak.

I tried to set the bevel between 20 and 21 degrees. I think the correct angle for a perfectly flush cut would be 20.9-ish, but that's hard to get on my saw, so I did have a little bit of an internal gap for glue to fill.
I applied the numbers by applying a pattern to each triangle with the correct number on it. After cutting, I just used a dremel to cut through the pattern where the ink was for the numbers. I have a terribly unsteady hand so I couldn't have free-handed it and have it turn out half so nice.
Thanks you all for your responses. I sure had fun making itComment

I did use rare earth magnets and inset them so they're hidden when closed. I still wanted 6 pairs though... makes a really firm connection.Comment
