Have you made your own cables? and do you use 'em

I have purchased and/or made cables for many years.
I have some that are 20 years old that I put together from Radio Shack RCAs and some "Mark Levinson" wire from a spool.
I have some Radio Shack 8mm oxygen free wire for Video connections.
But I also have plenty of Kinber PBJ. Kimber silver, a few purchased power cords (cheap ones!)
and some home made powercords...
My speaker cable is all Kimber 8TC.
Anyway, just curious who makes there own.
And do you also still buy?

I made my own silver foil speaker cables. They replaced home-made Cat5 cables (following the recipe by Chris VH). I still have the silver foils in place. The foils do sound good, but I'd like to compare them to some good commercial cables one day.

I used to use my own silver wire in Teflon tube interconnects, but Grover's silver ribbons sound a little better and cost only a little more than the raw material price.
