Re: Turricula - Titus Petronicus Graccus - 07-18-2008
Very fine work!
How was it cut? It looks clean enough to have been cut with a laser cutting machine.
Re: Turricula - jvrjenivs - 07-18-2008
Indeed a very fine job! Do you've drawings of the original? Seems like a nice project for later this year.
Re: Turricula - Folkert van Wijk - 07-18-2008
Yeah that's cool, and a very nice looking replica.
The one from Cairo is made of wood isn't it??
Speaking of nice projects..!

Hi,
On your tutorial site you have a picture of the other extant dice tower from Cairo. Could you tell me in which publication that was published?
Thanks!
Lucianus

Cool piece!
Re: Turricula - Matt Lukes - 07-18-2008
Wild- I guess with the clear popularity of dice among the Romans it's not surprising they had such things...
Very nice recreation

Re: Turricula - Falcon - 07-19-2008
Salvete Fratres,
:oops: thank You very much for Your appreciation & laudes :!: :!: :!:
jvrjenivs: as later down already mentioned: everybody is free to use my plans for private use (please contact me if commercial wanted), the link "Bauplan" = "construction plan" offers the original measure from Bonn but with my interpretation of the letters, look at the Bonn example - they are quiete different from mine :wink:
Titus Petronicus Graccus: no laser used :roll: all sawed by hand without machines but a drilling one for the holes for the saw blade.
Folkert van Wijk: indeed the Cairo example is of wood
gaiusseptimiuslucianus: Cairo example: no printed publication was available for me, but look here: http://www.imperiumromanum.com/kultur/u ... uerfel.htm You have to scroll down.
I haven't expected such an interest, I'll post an english translation of my german written tutorial.
Re: Turricula - Caballo - 07-19-2008
Another question, if I may- the internal "staircase" for the dice- is it one unbroken "staircase" or is it made up several "half floors"?
