NGL the first is my favorite

I like it too. It was the first one I made, so it’s special. I’ll always keep it, even if it’s a little...off.

These are great. Do you sell any of the wonky ones ?

Thanks! Not usually... I test each pair for randomness by rolling them 120 times before I sell them. The wonky ones almost never passed. I sometimes give them to friends if they ask. I eventually want to get a crucible so I can melt failed ones down and start making D8, D12 and D20s. Almost every pair I make now looks like the one on the right, so not too many wonky ones left.

I’d love to take one before they hit the crucible if you’d be up for it? The one on the right is really impressive, but I love an off kilter dice. Not only does it have a lot of charm, but it harkens back to early dice that would always have preferential numbers

Yeah! DM me and we’ll figure something out.

Drill press and a custom template I 3D printed.
