Anyone made their own can?

Has anyone on here made your own suppressor? Know anyone who has?

I'm interested in the idea of it and I know a couple others here are as well. Anyone actually done it? Any regrets or tips for someone planning to Form 1 a suppressor?

Never made one, but after taking mine apart they are insanely simply pieces of equipment...
