I just finished making this cube out of brass, it took me 3 days! Each edge is meant to be 13 millimetres long and I have hand filed them down to within one tenth of a millimetre of 13 millimetres, I am proud of this lil cube

I like your cube.

Now make a d20 and you can D&D with your nerdy friends!

Is 13mm the circumference of your b-hole?

But it's not a watch though...

It's hard to tell the size @op, do you have any scales that you can use?

The engineer in me marvels at the excellent tolerances, the asshole in me wants to hit it with a sledgehammer...

exactly the same way 6 times, once on each face.

What is this millimetre of which you speak? What does that convert to in bananas?
CaptainMilkshake
Glorious!

An average banana is about 8" long, and 8"=203.2mm. Therefore one millimetre is 0.0049 of the length of an average banana.

Why would you hand file it?
mrboom5hakalaka
To be as accurate as possible and to develop skills
Scrubtart
It seems like it would be much more accurate if you used a machine
mrboom5hakalaka
It's nearly impossible to take off tenths or eventually thousandths of millimetres with a fast moving machine
Scrubtart
So what you're saying is you don't have access to a CNC machine
mrboom5hakalaka
No, I'm saying we're learning to use our hands
