Has anyone tried to make their own propane burner? i know it has the potential to be extremely dangerous, but I think that it might be worth a try.

I don't think its worth it. Burners are readily available and inexpensive. I know people that have built burners for forges. But that's because they are hard to find and expensive.
I have built a couple that work well, what size and purpose were you needing a custom burner. Here are a couple shots of the new system burner http://picasaweb.google.com/kevin.ladue/NewBrewingGadgets#5164076763824483858 and burning http://picasaweb.google.com/kevin.ladue/PilotLights#5157308850096904738. If you can weld stainless and have the 1" tubing it is not difficult to build, gas jet opening is 1/16", burner outlet holes are 3/32" spaced 45 degrees from top, holes in center are not a good idea as additional air is needed for complete gas combustion. The original burner had a third row of holes down the center and I welded them closed after testing. The fender washer in the center provides a 360 degree flame to light all arms at same time from single arm ignition.

Thought about it until I saw this...
6" Cast Iron Burner - $9.99

Not the biggest but will do the job.
Looks like the same/similar burner used on the commonly used Bayou Classic SQ14.

Any more info on how you use this? Do you just place it on the ground?
