It's just a skill, same as drawing or sewing, all it takes is time and practice 
If anything, do small DIY projects where you can get used to using the tools and finding out the best way for you to use them where the outcome isn't so important, and just build up from there Take the third saber down, for example... (please excuse the poor picture)
All I did there was cut a diagonal line on a small section of pipe and superglue it onto a slightly narrower section of pipe, and I had the main body of a saber similar to Anakin's. The 'clamp' was simply an inch length of PVC pipe that I cut at the top so it would stretch around the metal and slide into place, and some purchassed grips. You can't get much simpler than that
