I made a portable dice tower, with 5mm MDF equipped with a Perspex window to view the dice tumbling down the tower, unfortunately the lack of thickness of the wood resulted in one very noisy dice tower.
To combat this I made another dice tower but this time I purchased a thin rubber sheet from the 2 dollar store. Once more, I used 5mm MDF and cut out all the parts of the tower, then applied Gorilla glue onto all the inner surfaces of the dice tower that would be in contact with the dice and placed them on the rubber sheeting.
Once the glue dried, I carefully cut out each piece of the tower from the rubber material. I sprayed all parts of the tower black that were not lined with the rubber material with black spray can.
Allowed a couple of days for the paint to dry, then carefully drilled pilot holes for the tiny screws, secured all the parts together first with glue and then added the screws. I drilled suitable holes on the underside of the tower to accommodate some small earth magnets and glued them in place, then aligned thin metal strips on the bottom plate of the tower to enable the tower to be used with or without the base.
Happy with the results of the silenced tower.

My first Dice tower without the internal rubber sheeting.
The new silenced Dice Tower with the internal rubber sheeting.The benefit of the removal base is that once the dice are rolled the tower can be removed to reveal the results of the dice throw.
