Making one from scratch would be pretty difficult because of the "lug" at the end that attaches to the throttle barrel. (are we talking about a happy time motor? If not, then things could be different)

Has yours broken? You'd probably be best off just ordering a new one from one of the vendors.

Throttle cables arn't difficult & since their under little pressure even electrical solder can be used...silver solder preferably,& essentially for brake cables.
Lugs can either be desoldered & reused,or made using about 5 turns of the appropriate guage wire wrapped around the cable & then soldered.
Fiddley job but saves $ & u get something custom lengthed.

This contains the basic idea, thought the visuals might help.
