Planning out my first saber build and I've been learning a lot from you guys! One thing I haven't been able to figure out is the best way to attach a shroud to my MHS blade holder (style 19). I figured the best way would be to use my blade retention screw. I was planning to place the shroud on my hilt and drill and tap for an 8-32 screw straight through both parts so that the holes would line up. Is this a good plan? I'm worried if I try to tap the holes separately then the threads won't line up correctly. Full disclosure, I've never tapped a hole before and I don't have a drill press - just going to place it in a vice and use a power drill and a tap wrench, like Madcow does in his video on blade retention screws... may the force be with me??
