Ah, a dice tower, you say? I love the idea, but let me tell you how I’d do it before you start turning the kitchen into a battleground. First, a sturdy wooden frame—no flimsy plastic. Then a brass spiral chute; I used to use that in my old telephone switchboards. A small cam dropper will let the dice roll in one go, and a spring‑loaded counter on the top will give it that extra wobble without letting the whole thing tip over. Keep the base level, or the squirrels will knock it over in a single gust. And don’t forget a lock on the top, so those curious critters can’t gnaw through the wires. In my day we didn’t need firmware updates for a dice tower, just good old mechanical design and a little bit of patience. Ready to build? Just remember: a smooth chute beats a chaotic vortex every time.
