Pretty good how-to for when mufflers are not “guns” but just what they are; a safety accessory. And for when they don’t require an engineer but just a good machinist to make.
I think the engineering is in optimizing the design for weight and size while delivering adequate strength; the video discusses that at some length. Yes, once the engineering is done, the manufacturing requires a good machinist.
If you don’t need it to quite as good, you can make a suppressor without being any kind of machinist; see P.A. Luty’s website.
Yes, that’s the “how-to” part. But you only have to do that once.
Fabrication otoh has to be done right one at a time every time, not the place to cut corners; doing it wrong/poorly can get your ass maimed or blowed up.
