Making a Formboard Dice Tower

Step 4 Add in the other side

Now that we have the dice steps attached to one side, it's time to do the other side.

Basically hold it in place against the dice steps that are sticking out, eyeballing where the steps line up on the marks.

The steps have a little flex to them, line them up with the marks and drive in the pushpins into the existing holes on the side. Do this for all three dice steps.

Now it's time for glue and toothpicks. Again, cut about five toothpicks in half so you have those ready when needed.

Remove the pushpins, put a bead of glue on the side where the marks are and a bead of glue on the edges of the dice steps.

Put all nine toothpicks in the side in, just sticking out a little. Then working the steps from the bottom up, line with the edge of the dice step to the toothpicks coming out of the side and push them together.

Once that's done, finish pushing the toothpicks into the dice steps, clip off the ends, then push in the little bit still sticking out. At this point you should have a tower that stands on it's own. Wipe off any excess glue you can reach and take the blue masking tape labels off the dice steps - they are where they need to be.
