Thomas,
   Just keep looking around here, watch the build-alongs and this will give you and idea of what you need.

There is more than one way of doing it, c-clamps, spring-clamps, air hose ect.....

Start here

Then have a look here

Then keep watching and searching here.

Everything you need you can find here:

Start with a video and go from there. It will give you a good overview of the process and the materials and tools needed.
