What Does the Guide Cover?

Getting Started

In this section, we’ll cover the basic requirements for each stage of your dice-making journey including the correct safety equipment. We've also included a handy shopping list for those getting started!

The Basics

In this section, we'll explore if dice craft requires a pressure pot, how to organise your workspace and dig into some tips and tricks for avoiding bubbles and raised faces.

Your First Dice

In this chapter, we'll follow my wife, Zoe, as she makes her first dice. We'll cover basic dice-making step by step. From finding inspiration to pouring, de-moulding, inking, and cleanup.

Pressure Casting

In this chapter, we'll be looking at pressure pots. We'll cover what they do, how to make one relatively cheaply using a paint pressure pot and how to test for leaks!

Advanced Finishing

Though we say advanced, there's nothing to stop you from considering these finishing techniques at any stage of your journey! For many, sanding is difficult or even impossible, these machines not only save you hours, but your cramped hands as well!

Dice Masters

In this chapter, we'll explore some of the considerations for designing and printing your very own custom dice masters.
