DodeCal由湖区的能工巧匠制造，传统木工和精密镭射雕刻技术共同使这个独特的日历得以呈现在人们面前。首先，三层木料被胶合成一个木块；然后木块被放到专门定制的角锯上进行反复切割，直到其变成十二面体形。刚制好的十二面体块较为粗糙，在经过机器粗打磨和人工精细打磨后，上以欧诗木蜡油，形成光滑的表面。这之后十二面体的每一面都被精确录入镭射雕刻软件，进行日期的雕刻。由于体块有十二个面，在雕刻过程中需要对其进行人工翻转。
Produced deep in the hills of the Lake District by the hands of master craftsmen, DodeCal celebrates the union of two very different skill sets. Traditional woodworking and the mathematical precision of laser engraving technology come together to make this unique calendar a reality. The process begins with three layers of material, glued and pressed together to create one solid block. This is then placed into a custom made jig alongside angled saws that masterfully slice the block, over and over until the dodecahedron shape is revealed. These initial shapes are machine-sanded to remove rough edges, then hand-sanded with finer grade papers before under going two coats of Osmo oil to create a smooth and sealed finish. Using calculative precision, each side of the dodecahedron is mapped into the laser computer software, ready for each calendar month to be engraved. The block is then rotated and set by hand 12 times in-between each engraving, resulting in an accurate and consistent outcome.
