I'm not (quite) an idiot either, but I made a homemade generator also.
It taught me a lot, but I hated all the wires everywhere, alligator
clips, and the tubes and wire for the fish bubbler....plus more wires
and clips to clip in the multimeter. It was just too fiddly and
cumbersome for me to want to actually use it, but I did learn.
Hook in a small multimeter and watch the current change as a batch
processes, was really interesting. It gave me an idea of how variable
things can be. And it can give a more accurate stopping place than
timing. I could have put in a current limiter, but I already had my
silverpuppy, can't remember if I already also had my SG-6 or not. I also
fiddled around with using a very long U shape anode and a short straight
cathode.
I would never use it unless I needed to hook it up to batteries, but it
was interesting, and fun, and I got a much better grasp of what the
process of making CS is like.
I had endless trouble making clear CS with my silverpuppy at first. Ken
helped me a lot, but eventually I found out it was the *first* thing he
told me when I had trouble--"it's the water". He was endlessly patient
with me, supplying ideas and things to try, while I worked through every
other possibility before coming round to accept it was the water. Once
I got my own distiller so I could control the purity of my DW it has
been easy to make perfectly clear CS repeatably. Commercial DW isn't
pure enough. I understand it is fine for most people in most areas of
the country, but not for me.

I guess as a home made CS generator maker, I am looking for proof
that I am NOT an idiot. That with a better understanding of the
process, I can make good if not great CS.

I recommend the Silverpuppy. It's idiot proof, makes great colloidal
silver and is very affordable.
