Hi and welcome 

 
Would be good to say where you are and what type of cables you want to make.
 
However, you'll find lots of information on this thread - http://www.head-fi.org/t/676402/diy-cable-questions-and-comments-thread
 
BTG Audio have reasonably priced DIY materials.

Is it all right to use low gauge speaker cable to build interconnects?

A lot of interconnects use very thin wire, so that itself is not necessarily a problem. The problem is that without a good cable design and materials, the capacitance can be pretty high. That can have significant effect on phono cables. For general interconnects, it is not usually a problem.

Pro audio stores usually sell good quality meterware at low prices. See if you can find a shop around you. You will likely be able to find something quite good as cheap as bad speaker cable.

Not really. If you look at interconnects, they are shielded. You need that to protect against EMI/RFI.
