First cut out the wood/acrylic

Now, glue together the checkered board, using the stencil.

Now, add the side pieces to the board as if they are the sides of a box. Use the taller, and bigger side pieces for this. Leave one of the longer pieces off to the side, and do not glue it on yet.

Now, build the drawer by connecting the 5 pieces. The drawer bottom, and all 4 sides. # sides will be small, One side will be the  bigger chessboard side piece from the last step.

Now build the chess pieces. This is pretty basic. they interlock.

Now put the drawer handle on the drawer.

Now put the drawer into the box under the chess board.

Now put on the bottom of the board.

You are done!

If you found this confusing, look at the photo. it explains almost everything.
