I'm sure I can get access to a lot of wood working tools...my friend is a carpenter, and my grandfather built some cabinets for the family while he was retired. Pretty sure I could make better looking dice, from construction site scraps.

Any of the Elite backers want to up pledges to call his bluff? Or at least make him take another step?
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T14:38:07-04:00
Only thing is my saw might be a little large for the task. It's a 10.5 inch
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T14:39:22-04:00
I haven't sanded my palm yet while making my boxes ... just my fingertips. Those blood spots spoil the wood too.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T14:40:33-04:00
@Geist, I'll be looking for that carrier pigeon.
Edwin "Guardian of Usagineko" Wiersma 2015-03-19T14:40:45-04:00
@PoT You have my Vote Bob, do I have yours? @Cheetahbut Understood Sir, won't happen again.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T14:41:09-04:00
@GM, you should do it and make a video.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T14:41:31-04:00
LOL, it's a handheld vibrating block sander. It's one you can touch and not destroy yourself
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T14:43:18-04:00
PoT, I also linked your video in the comments of my video
@LZ, you'd be surprised. I have the same type of sander and I can actually remove a layer of skin when I'm repetitively sanding several tiny pieces.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T14:45:28-04:00
Good to know. I'll wear gloves
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-03-19T14:46:17-04:00
I got my sander for $2
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-19T14:47:02-04:00
@CB: Carrier pigeon has been sent. I can't guarantee he will get there as he could get eaten along the way.
Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-03-19T14:47:13-04:00
Stretch goals should be simple. At 100% funding, everyone gets a cube of wood. At 200%, one of the sides will have 1 pip in the middle. At 300%, you get a 2. So on... at 700% all six faces will have the pips on them. At 800% you'll even put them in the right order.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T14:47:35-04:00
The pieces are so small I hold the sander upside down and move the pieces across the sanding surface. Sometimes I just get my fingers in the wrong position. I hate it when that happens, because in order to continue I have to put on a rubber glove to protect my remaining skin.
The "welcome" SG should start off as more in formal and back handed in the lower tiers (well, my money could have been spent better else where but this is certainly ok... I guess). Before moving on to the generous and kind (you're welcome) anyway.
You shall see them, Potatten. Unless they don't turn out the way i wanted them too and decide not to instagram. :) I really have SO many pics back-logged that need to be touched up and posted!!

Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-03-19T15:17:39-04:00
Thanks guys, I appreciate the support.
@Ed I liked your video day one, same for LZ. For some reason I cannot comment on my own video. I don't know why.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-03-19T15:19:01-04:00
Forgive me if this was covered earlier, (I am being pulled towards work A LOT today), but why if he is a priest, is he talking of marriage?
Wes is also active on the AKO dice page. I just liked that he's shutting down complainers on the butter-up page. He should become a member of the corps.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-03-19T15:21:59-04:00
Oh yeah, I still need to work on my own butter knife version. After my last failed attempt, I shall not fail this time!
@Creeper: Except I don't wear a tie. People would wonder what's up if I was wearing one.
And I sure as hell hope the person who used to do the payroll doesn't get anything extra other than her already agreed upon severance package. She was supposed to train us...we got MAYBE 3hours of training from her. Then we figured everything else out on our own. She was constantly on her phone, texting, and surfing the web.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T15:31:32-04:00
@Idle, I think he was spooked by the carrier pigeon.
Mike Kabala 2015-03-19T15:34:36-04:00
... or maybe he got scared by all that talk about death ...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-03-19T15:35:59-04:00
@Idle: He is preparing to make the video on how he makes dice.
I really should make dinner. I'm dying and my boy upstairs sounds like he's desperately catching his last breath. Must wake him up before the building falls down.
I'm sorry GM, i know it's been a hell of a few weeks since you took this job over. :( It's one thing to deal with people not filling out information right, etc... but to be learning the process at the same time? bleh.
... you could say something like, "for $100, our thank you to you will appear in Times Square."
Hand deliverables by LZ limited only to original 13 U.S. colonies.
... or maybe for $12,000.00
And Utah. I live in Utah, so that's not a big deal
LOL! The Elite dice guy just suggested that I try making my own dice.
Ok. And Utah. Was that not one of the original 13? :P
A reward level consisting of you in a bathtub, bubbles, candles , roses, and a horribly creepy thank you to for the ladies.
Trinkets, a photo of that is $30. A video is $50, and a live webcast is $100
If you want roses sent with the photo, video, or to hold during the webcast, add 25
@DDD: I'd back you for $50 if you show your gratitude by give my feet a massage for an hour. MUST HAVE WARM HANDS!
No gestures of gratitude. Cards/videos/emails only
@Nopes: LOL! That would be creepy indeed.
@LZ: Then I want a cooking video. Make your best lasagna with a bechemel sauce. I'd back that for $20.
The Lix guys is going to post a video on how he will make these dice if he can raise $300. This should be interesting.
Do we already have a $20 tier?
My question PoT wasn't how many decks, it was how many people will get sent decks. As in how many winners will they choose.
I think a $5 tier would be a mailed thank you note- no sincerity ---fill in the blank with their name, but the rest is just printed off of a form.
Lol @ no gestures of gratitude
@Geist: Bechemel is a fairly boring, and bland sauce 90% of the time.
Creeper, $5 for an email, $10 for snail mail (free shipping), and $1 for a text message
I like CB's idea "Your name will be featured in Times Square!" WIth just someone holding up a piece of paper with their name on it.
That guy is just egging me on now. I HAVE to make some dice and do a video of the "process."
@Creeper, good idea! That way you won't get mugged for your phone.
I have a miter saw, a sander, and a drill. I think I'm all set to make dice of equal quality to his
My afternoon plug for anyone at all to LIKE my video application to be a #KittenConsul. if you haven't yet, please take a moment to share the love.
https://www.youtube.com/watch…
@LZ, careful with that sander. They EAT wood that small.
... Oh wait, You said "equal quality" didn't you? ... (never mind)
@Dr.P. I'm aware, but as I said, they haven't let that info out, I'm just guessing the top ten will get a party, I have no way to know.
It's a palm sander
So, it's perfect for the project
I'm sure I can get access to a lot of wood working tools...my friend is a carpenter, and my grandfather built some cabinets for the family while he was retired. Pretty sure I could make better looking dice, from construction site scraps.
Any of the Elite backers want to up pledges to call his bluff? Or at least make him take another step?
Only thing is my saw might be a little large for the task. It's a 10.5 inch
I haven't sanded my palm yet while making my boxes ... just my fingertips. Those blood spots spoil the wood too.

Are the thanks yous EU friendly?
Stretch goals?!?!?
@LZ, you'd be surprised. I have the same type of sander and I can actually remove a layer of skin when I'm repetitively sanding several tiny pieces.
Good to know. I'll wear gloves
I got my sander for $2

@kevin and just try to be careful
I meant, stretch goals for the thank you campaign. as a stretch goal, do we have the opportunity to respond with "you're welcome" ?
@Creeper, there could be a stretch goal to have the option of receiving your thank-you in Russian.
@CB - Perfect!
... or Polish. I could do Polish!
lol@Tchotchke
OH! And 100,000 backers - we get a stretch goal to choose ink color!!!
At what stretch goal does our video thank you include the Priest outfit?
100,000 Facebook Likes could unlock send ing thank-yous via Facebook.
All thank yous will be tumble polished
At 150% funding, all mailed thank yous will be hand written with my glass pen
The "welcome" SG should start off as more in formal and back handed in the lower tiers (well, my money could have been spent better else where but this is certainly ok... I guess). Before moving on to the generous and kind (you're welcome) anyway.
@Jim +1 lol!!
@potatten - haha... nothing like a good back-handed you're welcome. .... i may have done a few of those...
200% will give you the option of black or burgundy wine colored ink. 500% will unlock additional color options
WEll, this is a weird week for me. Just got an order for a cake that looks like a femur bone, and a cake that looks like a machine gun.
I prefer Phoenix quill pen signed note, but I'll settle for glass I guess.
I definitely want pics of those cakes!
At 250%, you can choose between goose feather quill and glass (I do already have a goose quill)
You shall see them, Potatten. Unless they don't turn out the way i wanted them too and decide not to instagram. :) I really have SO many pics back-logged that need to be touched up and posted!!
Will the burgandy wine color be SAS???? Because...i mean... "still good" :)
If this client approves my price for the machine gun, i might need some advice from some of y'all.
No, but it is French
that works
WES! Is Wes ever around???? Thank you for being awesome on the Butterup page!!! Huzzah!!!
(I just saw he backed EK as well)

Trinkets... excellent point. oh! maybe making the dice is a distraction from not being able to get married? damn... i gave him a reason..
Gyaaaah.! Work, work, work. Talk laters.
Anyone got an IV of alcohol they want to attach to my arm?...I can really use it right now.
suddenly so quiet! Is everyone napping? DID EVERYONE GET BLOCKED?!?!
I'm sorry GM! . . . You've been under so much stress lately. :(
That basketball tournament is playing havoc with the interwebz today. Maybe everyone is watching the games on their phonez.
They have bras that hold a bottle of wine... oh! They have ties that hold booze! You should consider ordering.
Hubie-Gleb got silent? Maybe he's at a Thanksgiving mass?
@Creeper: Except I don't wear a tie. People would wonder what's up if I was wearing one.
And I sure as hell hope the person who used to do the payroll doesn't get anything extra other than her already agreed upon severance package.

Yeah Geist, he needs all the help from God to make a miracle.
It's not easy chopping down small cherry trees.
I wear ties. Once in a while.
Sometimes you need to look respectful. And extra sexy.
George Washington would have said otherwise Geist.
I can imagine Trinkets getting ready in the mirror, pumping himself up "Got my extra sexy tie on today! watch out ladies!!" *flexes*
Nobody got the Thanksgiving mass joke?
I didn't get the 2020 one either so it's fair.
