I made the dice tower in this video and plan to mass produce it myself. Just need input from other gamers. Need to hear suggestions for improvement or even compliments :)

Go Big or Go Home
It looks like it works perfectly, but is it really feasible to carry around something that massive?

And probably half a dozen others if I searched for more than the 10 seconds I spent.

It's Big, but...
... I could see people wanting that look/size for use in a man cave / game room setting. Even if you make smaller ones, I would consider keeping the large size available also.
For the smaller ones, I'm not sure you need to make it quite so beefy, e.g., the long bolts and large handle.
Going for the military look, you might consider full OD paint, and possibly stenciled writing/labels. Or, you could theme them for the different service branches, etc.
As JC mentioned, there are dice tower makers out there already, so any way you could differentiate your product from theirs could also help.
It's definately very big. This is the kind of feedback I need, so thanks.
The next one I make will be approximately 2/3 or 1/2 that size.
