tri D chess (star trek chess)

hi every one!!

so as my name would suggest i am a huge star trek fan. lately i have been looking around for instructables on how to build tri d chess but haven't found any... so here's my version. 

Step 1 Step 1

so first you want materials and tools:

plexi glass

something to cut the above item

nuts and bolts (the bolts should be significantly taller than your chess pieces) 

something to make the stand out of 

a drill 

a permanent marker

about two hours

a love of chess and star trek

What did you make the base out of?

i built the base out of one of those towel holder things. i just hacksawed it open and bent it into the right shape

Interesting. I bought a set when I was younger from ... Franklin Mint, I think it was.

Just FYI, for anyone attempting to create their own: the last two rows of the bottom tier should be overlapped by the first two rows of the middle tier. The last two rows of the middle tier should be overlapped by the first two rows of the top tier. I.E. the entire middle board should be overlapped by the top and bottom boards (The effect being that the board is still 8 deep).
