Pattern Update.

I would not be a good gambler or Yahtzee player. I was informed by many readers that my dice in the Feeling Lucky pattern were impossible. I used reference photos but I have now discovered that not everything on the internet is true. Who knew!

I changed the pattern to what I think is accurate. Next time I'm at the store I'll buy some dice and make sure it's right. I did learn something new. Opposite sides of the die have to add up to seven. You would think I would have known that fact after 57 years on this earth but I guess I missed it.

If you downloaded the pattern and want the update you can download it here. I'll also change the link in the catalog.
 

Feeling Lucky Rear View Mirror Hanger Scroll Saw Pattern.

Remember the fuzzy dice that you hung from the mirror of your 57 Chevy. They were too cool for school. Well these die are not fuzzy but you can hang them from your mirror. Just make sure you roll up the sleeves of your t-shirt and slick your hair back to get the full experience.

Warning, attempting to hang these from the mirror of your minivan is considered square, you dig?

The tradition of hanging dice is believed to have begun during WWII. Pilots would hang dice showing seven pips in the cockpit for good luck. When the service men returned home they continued the practice in their cars. I figure they were still trying to get lucky.
