Hey there, my first post! Which means I might not even be posting in the right place, but here it goes.
Ok, I have a pretty decent workshop in my house, the problem is that it's not mine and I know basically jack about tools and what kind of tools I even need. My uncle's workshop seems more like a woodworking shop, so I don't know if this will suit me well. But hey, I'm eager to learn!
So, as you can figure out by now, I'm completely new to this. I've been playing with the saber builder and I tried to go with something basic yet unique.

This is what I had in mind and I was going to make it an LED saber (5 watt I'm thinking). So it seems to me that mostly I need something to drill a whole for the switch, the screw for the blade, the clip, and then everything else seems to just screw in to place.
The wiring seems a bit tricky but nothing that I cant figure out. However, I'm not really sure how to keep everything in place so it doesn't rattle around. I've viewed the diagrams and all that but it doesn't seem to show how to keep things solid in there.
Anyway, that's it for now. If anyone has some answers or tips that would be great. Novastar, if you're reading this, sorry for the annoying questions on Youtube, lol. Thanks for reading!
