I am trying to build a hardware lightsaber, I have the 1 1/2" tube for the hilt and I even have a length of spray painted PVC that screws in for the blade. However I am wondering about thumb screws and hex nuts if I put them on the hilt to use as buttons is it going to impede me being able to put the blade in? I am not very familiar with all the various hardware parts and how they work I only know of basic nuts and bolts and in order to put a bolt into something it has to scew into a nut, which is supposed to be on the other side. I hope that this makes some sense. Please let me know.
I have used various sights to get ideas but after years of trying I am getting burned out, I have seen many various parts in hardware stores some I have bought and they did not work so some of the reasons that my saber is not done is because I do not know what works and do not want to keep accumilating a bunch of useless parts. I have always had a facination with building things but all of the things I have built have come with instructions.
Thanks
