In Response To: Meyer Dice Tube (revisited) (Chuck Bower)

Chuck - both end caps are removable, not just one, so you should have no problem fitting the tube inside your board.

As for the endcap coming off inadvertently, it had never happened until my finals match with Bill. After a particularly horrific sequence that was not in Bill's favor, he hit his clock with such ferocity that the dice tube was actually launched off of its bottom end cap. Note that the dice tube was located on the opposite side of the board from the clock - the force travelling quite some distance through the table.

  • This seems to be an improvement, but I still prefer to roll dice, either onto the board or thru a baffle box
