Thought some more on this. Mind you I know a good bit about electrical so when it came to building a rotary phase converter, I just got on the web and did some research and built one. But that's me. I will say that if you have a buddy that can be plied with beer and pizza that knows industrial electricity you may pull some info off the web and have him look at it and see if he thinks he could build one. Another option is there are sellers out there that are selling control boxes that you connect to a 3 phase motor that give you a RPC but you don't have to pay shipping on a motor. When you are getting into the 10 to 15 HP size motors, the shipping can be a bit much. You would locally source the motor and then connect it to the control box. For some guys that's a bit too much even and I understand that. Electricity is one of those funny things that has a lurking potential to do serious harm and damage when it's played with or worked on by the uninformed.
