"Hi, have you ever wondered how to make some trick dice, or some magic dice, you can play at home with your friends? My name is Dean Hale, and I'm going to show you how to drill some dice. First of all, you take your die, and you put it in your vise. You never want to hold it in your hands. That would be a little dangerous. Always before using your drill, please put on your safety goggles, to make sure that you protect your eyes. You're going to get the die in the vise, and you're going to make about a quarter turn, and get it tight in there. Get it lined up, bring it down, and make sure to do a dry fit, until it's right where you want it to be. You want to then check your depth level, to make sure that it's at the proper, of where you want it to go, so you just turn this along the side right here, to get your depth level to get it where you want it. We're going to keep it very shallow today, to make sure that we don't go too deep, so let me line it back up again. We've got it all set, and again, make sure it's tight, your safety goggles on. You're going to hit the on switch, and you bring it right down. Bring it up, and make sure the drill stops. Coming out, and now you've drilled a hole in a dice. Now, you can use this for various different things. If you want to make some dice necklace, or some other reasons. Again, Dean Hale, showing you how to drill dice."
