You'll need purified weapons-grade uranium. This isn't stuff you can make in
your garage. It takes some pretty hefty equipment (IE, entire factories) to
purify uranium. Plus, you have to be able to machine it, which is in and of
itself an extraordinarily dangerous activity. Once you actually /have/ that
though, the bomb itself is simple.
