The days of a DIY'er whipping up a top-end block in the house shed with a drill-press, a dremel, and a couple of other backyard tools is long gone.
It just comes down to desire to do it. I don't think most people water cool let alone care to design and make a block. The one't that want to make a block seem to not grasp the basics of what makes a block work. There is more to it than just making pins in pretty pattern.
