What do you want ? A completely new operating system ? i think that will be a great effort. you'll have to write your own kernel and core, applications, libraries, device drivers, gui etc etc...

Or you can buld up an os from the existing Linux Kernel. Try LinuxFromScratch

A great question. Have you heard about Knoppix. It was created by Klaus Knopper, not from scratch but from codes that exist in the Open Source World. I once had a chat with him through e-mail and he told me (when I asked the similar question that u have asked) that "no one in the entire history of mankind has created an operating system from scratch". So I think creating an operating system from scratch is rather impossible. But you can certainly use the open source codes to create your own OS.

@nagrjun
first tell me if u r awared of open source codes or not

if not u will be unable to make an os urself

also making an os is not taking a candy from a baby

u have to spend a year months or days to complete make an os yourself
