You can find the tools need, supplies and instructions here. Below are my photos of the process.

| My supplies |
 |
| Drilling holes in 2 of the saucers took the longest amount of time. Go slow! |
 |
| Cut my dowel rods to size. At the same time I started step #4 and cut my poplar to size. When drilling your holes into the ends of the rods MAKE SURE you are drilling straight. I did not pay attention to this too much and had to go back and redo some work! :/ |
 |
| Wrapping the twine. What a sticky mess! |
 |
| Find the center of your cut poplar and drill a hole. Then squeeze some glue on it and line it up with the hole of you biggest saucer |
 |
| Thread your screw through |
 |
| Now place a little glue to your washer and place it on the end of your dowel. I also placed a little glue on the saucer. |
 |
| Tighten the screw into the dowel.... but not too tight! |
 |
| Using your pliers, screw the dowel screw halfway into the top of the rod. If I did this again I would move this step up a few. I think it would be easier to screw the dowel screw in while the dowels not attached. |
 |
| Thread the 2nd saucer through the dowel screw, add a washer and tighten the 2nd dowel. Now you can see why it's so important to drill the holes correctly into your dowels. I had to disassemble and redo some work after this. |

Finally, glue your smallest saucer on top
