for me it's all about getting materials, I collect anything that looks like it might be useful, tubing for barrels is hardest to find, unless you want to buy,

Some very nice work with basic tools on that channel you linked to.

That being said, a hammer valve airgun is a relatively sophisticated project. You can easily start using standard pipe fittings and an exhaust valve for a powerful single shot launcher. If you have access to a good epoxy adhesive, all you'll need is tubing because you'll be able to make your own fittings.
