wooden dowels tower

I don't have an image for any of my work yet, but I've been working on this project for a long time yesterday. I now have lots of 6 inch squares that are glued and tied. I'm planning on making cubes out of them. I couldn't think of an easier way to make the cubes, other than to make squares firts. It is so difficult to glue the dowels since the wood glue does not have any immediate grip.
My next step is to decide if I want to put diagonal supports in for each cube or to put the cubes on top of each other first, and then put in diagonal supports for the larger structure.
Any suggestions are welcome.
