Well done! To bad it's not a free model. My kids and I play lots of games that include dice to roll but we don't have the room on the table to roll them and they end up tossing the game pieces away lol. I built the other dice tower last year but 6 weeks ago my youngest sat on it and broke it, Yes it lasted about a year lol. Oh well I will build the other tower again. Thanks Ana
