Tools from that age? I’m on video 2, and it looks like he’s using a bunch of modern tools that wouldn’t have been available 2000+ years ago?

Keep watching -- he gets more into the period appropriate tools later in the series including home made drills, files, layout ink, soldering tools, etc

It's not exactly "making the whole thing with period tools" but rather "exploring how each part could have been made using available technology (but still doing the bulk of the work with modern tooling)".
