It seems you are interested in layered model which means you will
base your work on oe-core and other layers. Yes writing your own
machine layer is a preferred approach. However you need to host
and maintain the layer. For hosting gihub bitbucket gitorious etc
work good. If you maintain the layer in pretty good shape many
distro's like angstrom might include your machine layer in the
default build

There are some machine layers mentioned here

You can use one of those for reference and modelling its upto you
