Best DIY power cable. Why not make?

Ok perhaps I don't get it.  You have hot, neutral, ground and connectors.  I am looking for advise from those that have found the secret sauce in making power cables or at least those that have had great success.  With all the quality cable and connectors why not make your own?  I refuse to pay $2,000 plus for a power cable that would take a hour to build.  I am seeking your guidance and suggestions.  Thanks!

Cue in "Williewonka".  
Like Duster on Audio Asylum mentioned by ddzstereo, review various posts on the subject of DIY power cords by Willie on the 'gon.

Well I made my own power cable using Furutech DPS-4 cable (Retails $449/meter) and Furutech Nano connectors (Retails $350 a set). I also used Furutech Nano liquid on the cut wire ends. Now I must admit I was able to get the raw cables and connectors for less than retail due to a quantity discount. 

But still pretty pricey for a DIY project. However, these are the best sounding cables I have owned. (except for one other). And I have owned many, many cables.

No, you're not. You are not a "gullible" one, remember? Although they might sound good in your fantasy system.
