That sums it up for me as well.

IMO the thing with this kind of poll is that without the specifics, you
are getting non-specific answers. Because my answer to the "would I build
it?" depends on the specific item. If I can buy it surplus cheap, then why
I want to would spend the time building it? Only reason for me would be
learning something new. If that is ruled out as well, not much motivation
left to build it.

So can do, have done, will do again, and it depends on what it is.
