I often see people buying new chucks who already have lots of tooling and big machinery. I'm wondering why people don't make their own more often? Have you ever tried?

No matter how SKILLED a person be, we only get but so much TIME. Humans 'specialize" so as to gain the most from wise use of their own time, trade the gains for products made by some OTHER specialists working into the wise use of THEIR time.
If you are not to be seen as a foolish parasite, you should learn to read more, post less.
I gave one of your other queries a straight answer, and I'll do the same for this one, but you probably need to find a different forum for this level of "why is the sky blue" or "why do you guys have big machines".
Terribly sorry, I wouldn't want to dull the quality of the inane grandpa ramblings. Next time I'll try to make a better post, like "what paint marker do you use".

You would have more time if you didn't spend all day on practicalmachinist with 20,000 posts. You're worse than some twitter millennial.
For each piece of any project there is setup time. If you are making one of each piece it can be a huge part the time involved. If you are making 500 or 10,000 pieces then the set up time is insignificant on a per piece basis. Then you have material costs which are also less when you buy in huge quantities as opposed to buying a cut off when often the shipping is as much as the material. For the body are you going to cast the shape in iron yourself? Not likely. You will have to machine it from a huge billet. The only way it could possibly be worth while would be if someone gave you a complete cnc program already proven, you had the cnc machine necessary, and you had scrap material lying around.I often see people buying new chucks who already have lots of tooling and big machinery.

Let's keep it real, shall we?.
YOUR "cone" of ignorance is the common "bell curve" of statistical distribution, and most of it is simply above your pay-grade.
No foul. There is work of SOME kind for EVERYBODY. Especially if I stir 'em up to speed-up the process. It's what a "synthesist" style thinker JF DOES.
I'm good wit' dat' by choice.
I can learn SOMETHING of value from just about ANYBODY. Any time. Anywhere. Any situation.
Some others, it's necessity.
Learning is NOT so easy. Especially if they block it out of misplaced arrogance.
Keep trying, anyway....
Meanwhile...

Cheap shite audio jacks this week, is it? Oy! "the humanity!"
You and the greenthing are MADE for each other!
