Doesn't have to be fancy. Cardboard and tape will work if your short of materials and time.

You can get plans online fer free.

BC, here's an easy one to make and should hold together better than cardboard.

Now, I not only want to build one, I want to make it look like a WW2 German bunker.  :nerd:

Sorry for hijacking your thread, Brant. Unless I'm not.  ;)

Now I know what I'm doing this weekend.

Life is not exciting here.

Equal levels of excitement here as I dug out some extra foam board, rules, razors, and hot glue. The spray paint is currently drying on it as I type.

I will say that if you're going to paint it, dollar store foam board may not be the best idea as the spray paint seems to have caused some of the paper to separate from the foam core. I squeezed a little hot glue into it, so I think things will be okay. Certainly okay enough for a dice tower I made in an hour out of scraps.

You certainly started something... I'm now debating looking up plans for building a wooden one. And I don't even really care that much for dice towers!

You could use the same plans for a wooden one. Just use nails or screws instead of toothpicks.
But glue felt to every shelf or it will be really noisy.

I could use those plans. Well... The term I is likely slightly inappropriate here as I'd likely have my brother who does a decent amount of wood working (the wood turning stuff he does is unbelievably good) do most the work for me.

Regardless, I've got a cheap foam board one now.

I was going to build this over the weekend too, but by the time I explained what I needed to the better half I received permission to buy one. Go figure.  :D
