It depends on what you have planned, but if you have an idea of design it would be easier to provide input. In general for wood working your probably going to need a circular saw, jig saw for more intricate cuts and general tools like drills screws and such for simple joinery.

im thinking of using an old case for its motherboard tray, IO sheild and PCIe mounts and cutting everything else off it; arrange the PSU and drives so its as small as possible and then use wood or plastic to fill in everything except the GPU and CPU heatsinks. thats what im thinking atm

 

For another idea im thinking about knitting a case out of steel cable or copper wire
