Does anyone have any details on the construction of Dodecahedrons, are all the extent examples cast for example?
any info is welcome... I dont think it would be too difficult to make one either assembled from pieces of wax and cast or made from sheet metal which would probably be easier though at the moment I cant see that this method would be accurate....
Theres several available on Shapeways maybe its good for practice with the gloves etc..

From one of the above links I found this article should be useful.. In french it can be translated via chrome and saved as a pdf using the site menu:
A search along the Baths of Jublains (Mayenne): finally a dodecahedron archaeological context!

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
