Recently I've been very curious on how to create my own distro, are there any tutorials on how to do it? I've googled it quite a bit but I can't find anything. ](*,)

That shows you how to remaster Knoppix to your liking. It won't be exactly the same with other debian variants but should be close.

use at your own risk... LFS is not for the feint of heart...

OTOH, is it possible to repackage a custom LFS distro, and put it on another computer?

Thanks everyone, this is sort of what I meant, but I was thinking more along the lines of my very, very own distro...like Ubuntu. It would be debian based I guess.

This is what Yoper did, although their success has been only been moderate.
