I like the idea of a block on the lid...think I will try that myself.


Just FWIW...the hobby foam makes the dice rolling a little less noisy, and (as you can see in the picture) since I am using some custom dice from C&C Napoleonics, I want to help preserve the stickers and edges from knocking about.
Now, the problem is, how to divide five Afghans from three mules and have two Englishmen left over.

That looks almost the perfect size. 

Would be nice to have a square or octagonal one that size.  The round ones tend to waste a little space since my maps, boards, etc that they're sitting next to all have straight edges.

I love you nerds :P

Think I found a box you may want to use for a homemade dice tray, Mirth:

^I like it.  It's about 20% cooler.

Bison

Dice tray project is underway...

Bison

The dice tray and dice box projects I knocked out today.  The tray is approximately 8" X 8".  It's actually a little smaller than I wanted, but it looks good and works well.  I bought it and the chest box at Hobby Lobby.  The tray was $3 after the daily 40% off one item coupon and the box was another $5 plus $1 for felt.  I had the cork board at home as well as the stain/varnish.  Total cost was less than $10 for the kit and caboodle. The cork is available at Hobby Lobby too and runs between $3-5 depending on what you want.

The dice tray:



The dice tray with some awesome dice!



Dice Chest:

The project together with the Castles and Crusades PHB.  You cannot have all these cool nerd toys without a great game to enjoy playing with them.   ;D
