I watched the clip again, just in case I had imagined it, and I am sure that the dice moves while he's drilling it. Anyway, the stuff about the goggles and all that was good.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-39890142039153583002021-06-07T05:04:16.816+01:002021-06-07T05:04:16.816+01:00Thank you Tony and especially thanks Dean.

I mentioned to a mate that I was using a Sharpie to mark up blank dice, and he said, "but it will rub off, in time", and he's right, but I suppose having to touch them up with the Sharpie is as bad as it might get. The ink seems rather harder wearing than I expected, and it isn't going to rub off all in one go - I would expect to detect signs of fading before the marks disappeared...<br /><br />While I was thinking the best way to do this, I came across this, which must be one of the most unhelpful how-to YouTube clips around - worth a watch, you can probably apply most of the content to peeling potatoes, so keep the link handy<br /><br />https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=how+to+drill+a+dice#kpvalbx=_UrK8YJ2KMZ-HjLsPnK6d-A822MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-51199901359332508742021-06-06T12:12:27.221+01:002021-06-06T12:12:27.221+01:00First your post and then Ross' comment; I am l...First your post and then Ross' comment; I am laughing my head off!<br />Right... got my composure now.
