I'm sure no one would know you were making it, but:
Make the tube and rear mount, first. (I'd weld or permanently affix via other means)
Mount suppressor to barrel and perm attach.
Make baffles and end cap (a monocore or welded stack can add further insulation to law)
Insert said baffles.
Attach end cap and perm attach if you didn't do monocore or welded stack. (I'd prefer to just weld it shut)
I say welded stack or monocore to relieve some doubt you were trying to make a part that could be used elsewhere. However, I'd prefer to have a sealed unit, perm attached to barrel. Just make sure you take cleaning into account. She gonna get dirty
Again, the ATF has said that a silencer isn't a firearm/silencer if it can't be readily adapted for use on a firearm, ie. a real gun.

CT doesn't have a definition for "SBR" so that's where the barrel length comes in. There's even more of a process now (post Sandy Hook) so you don't have to worry (read as your screwed either way) too much about it anymore. We've recently resorted to building 12" "others" w/ braces, forward grips, and making sure of a 26" OAL. Not really defined as anything as it's not a rifle or pistol and not an AOW federally.
