Wow that didn't work out at all, I meant to write what chord degree the notes were under the note names but the post gets all screwed up, I should have previwed, here's what i meant:
A B C D E F G#
To build a C chord from this scale, stack thirds
C = 1 E = maj3 G# =#5 B = maj7
1, maj3, #5, maj7 makes an aug7 chord, without the 7 its just an aug triad, that's better.

A B C D E F G#
To build a D chord from this scale
D = 1 F = m3 A = 5 C = m7
1 m3 5 m7 makes a minor 7th chord, without the seventh just a minor triad.
