To hold the parts in straight stacks for fastening together with a screw, jigs were required. The jigs were designed in Solidworks, keeping their size under the size of a "two-by-four".

Then the jigs were machined from soft wood stock.

The parts were stacked up inside the jig.

 

And the jig was clamped shut for driving the screw.

 

A jig was also made for the pentagonal pieces.

 

The pieces were stacked carefully inside.

 

 

And then a screw was driven through all the parts in the stack to fix them together.
