How to Make Giant Wooden Dice | A Fun Woodworking Project From Reclaimed Wood

Описание: In today’s video, I’m sharing a woodworking project I recently completed—one that can easily be done in a day or two and was a lot of fun to make.
My name is Dr. Paul Kerstetter, and lately I’ve been interested in taking pieces of wood that others are throwing away and turning them into something interesting or unexpected. For this project, I found a small shelf discarded along the side of the road. It was old, stained, and clearly unwanted—but after cleaning it up, I discovered it was made from a beautiful piece of cedar.
As you watch the video, imagine that shelf was yours. What would you make from it? If an idea comes to mind, I’d love to hear it—leave a comment and let me know.
So what did I turn it into? An extra-large holey die (yes, that’s the singular of dice). It stands about 5⅜ inches tall and, while it isn’t particularly useful, it makes a great ornamental piece. You could turn one into a pen or pencil holder, or make several and string them together for display. In my case, it’s simply a fun conversation piece for my home.
If you’d like to learn how to make one yourself, stay tuned. I’ll walk you through the entire process, including how to create the template and the jig that makes drilling the holes easy and repeatable.
Thanks for watching—and don’t forget to comment with what you would have made!
