Mr. Boxy
Yes, and maybe. To legally make a gun, you will need to comply with both federal and state regulations. There are a few rules that are true everywhere:

It has to look like a gun. While there's no set legal definition on what "looks like" means, if you intentionally make a gun that looks like another object, it's probably illegal.

It cannot be an automatic unless you are selling it to a state or federal agency. This includes states where it is legal to own a commercially-produced automatic weapon.

The gun will need to have a tax stamp. Getting one will probably involve a safety inspection.

You can't sell it to anyone unless you have a Federal Firearms License.

Making something that won't explode in your hand takes a lot of skill. If you want to learn how to make a decent quality firearm, attend a gunsmithing school. Here you'll learn everything involved in gun manufacture including metallurgy, ballistics, chemistry, and machining.

A potato gun is one weapon that can be constructed by amateurs. However, the legal status varies considerably, with some places counting possession a felony, while other places don't consider it to be a firearm.
