I know that I have led a sheltered life but... I've never seen a homebrew receiver that I thought was really worth having. Now, I'm sure that there have been some outstandingly good homebrew receivers, but the time required is off-putting, as is the challenge of finding parts. The QRP enthusiasts seem to come up with some good ideas for rigs, maybe that would be one area you'd look at now for homebrew ideas .

Our OP is staying rather quiet .
