This is a book i found that might help. Also check out The Gunsmith of Grenville County: Building the American Longrifle. For a video with barrel forging in try this
Yes the steel is cheap and the machining is the part you are paying for, but you are also paying for it being designed to handle the pressure of being shot. As a Mechanical Engineer, I can tell you are taking a huge risk in using a pipe as a barrel. The pipe isn't meant for the stresses that you want it to go through and yes it might work for a while but it could fail and kill you. The guys who it blew up on never get to make a video.
