Need advice on filing a Form 1 and making a can

I have a friend who wants to make his own can after Jan. 1, he's handy with tools and has access to some machining equipment but not a machinist himself.  I have told him the requirements about engraving, the info needed, etc. but I'm at a loss as to what else ATF will require.  Can anyone help me out?  Also, he asked  about papering a filter trap and I know there was a lot of controversy about these and ATF came down hard on some folks, but I really didn't follow the discussion closely and know little on the subject.  Thanks for the help.

I'm assuming that he has an eforms account - eForm 1 will require digital photos & fingerprints (or alternatively he can mail hard copies in with a page he'll get from the application).  Other than the engraving requirement, it's pretty much the same as a form 4.

On my last form 1 SBR, ATF wanted photos of the gun's markings, so he shouldn't be surprised if he gets the same request.
