If you have a large enough supply of electrons, protons and neutrons, and you can combine them at will, you can make anything.

Anything except for quarks.
If you bang some of the electrons hard enough into some of the neutrons or protons you'll even get quarks.
No you won't.

You need to bang protons or neutron together. Electrons don't participate in color force and can't make quarks.

Hehe, trust me for getting it wrong, you are absolutely right.
