In my own experience the Segway required solid-state gyros, and cell
phones required A/D converters fast enough to digitize radio
frequencies. I was building prototypes with digital storage scope
components.

I recall reading an article of a guy who made a processor using
individual transistors soldered to circuit boards.

There is a lot of "retro-" building where people are doing "by
hand" as a hobby what is not practical to do commercially. I make
wooden boxes, the wife crochets blankets. Nobody is going to pay for
our time, the best we can hope for is to cover materials. "It is a
hobby."

Quilters used to give away their hard work, too, but they found a
marketing scheme which now sees quilts go for hundreds of dollars.
Find your marketer, dude.

It is a possibility. BUT ... I went to tech school to learn
machining, because woodworking was a hobby/relaxation. However, as
I've said, "I hired this company to collect my pay from customers, oh,
and to find customers, suppliers, and to handle the paperwork side of
the business."
