What minimal equipment would you need to make your own crystals ?

Lapping compound and a hunk of glass/polished granite?
You can probably buy blanks that are approximately the right size and with the correct cut.
If not, you'll need the appropriate saw and jigs and a source of quartz

A supply of crystal holders, and the technology to seal them (welding these days, I would imagine)


the actual mechanics is probably less of a challenge than establishing the supply chains.

For a "one off", it would be pretty easy.

Probably true for many things.   My current design has six crystals, and
exactly none of them could be replaced by an oscillator module.
Power and space considerations mostly.
