To clip or not to clip...

[mirth]

Nice. I do like that. Could be a good little project.

Some nice dice trays are next on my list.

Thankfully those are relatively cheap.

Depends how you do the math on material cost  ...

No. Not really.

now, when one finishes to clip that cardboard pieces - one needs to cover the 'open' cardboard edge with nail polish to make these suckers watertight! HEAR ME?!  :D

But before that you need to colour the edges, to match the counter, with coloured markers.  :D

Ok you guys may be taking this obsession a little too far.

[chemkid]

nope, just the plain truth. that's exactly what happens after you grabbed your first pack of dragonshields to start sleeving your collection.

The next thing you know you're cutting up maps and mounting the pieces on foamcore to make them 3D.

And getting a pedicure.

[chemkid]

that would be over doing it, right? i'd rather recommend to frame your favorite maps and play something less valuable - that's all.

Dragon Shield sleeves are ok, but not my preferred sleeve.  I've come to like the plain transparent Fantasy Flight sleeves.  I like to see the card art.  The key is to IMMEDIATELY sleeve after opening a new game.

The key is to not buy card based games.

I'm thinking I'll make a trip to Hobby Lobby this evening.  I want to look at some shadow boxes and cork board.  I also want to price out a bulk cut of felt for an old kitchen table I plan on converting into my gaming table.  Nothing fancy like GJK and Mike did just a simple cover over the top.

Let me know what you find out about the dice tray materials. I'm not much of a DIYer, but I think I can manage the dice trays.
