Hello all. I'm looking to make a very simple SHA coin called TestCoin (for miner testing, etc.). How exactly would I go about this? I would prefer NOT to use a service like CoinCreator if possible.

Thanks,
HD

Read the guide here http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=scrypt_altcoin_cloning_guide
Understand it and make your own coin.(The guide is for Scrypt coin but i'll work for SHA coin too)

this is pretty much it: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/complete-guide-on-how-to-create-a-new-alt-coin-225690

then some find/replace:

find /root/newcoin/ -name "*" | xargs perl -pi -e 's/oldcoin/newcoin/g'

create new genesis block. go to town. rinse repeat.

Does seem to be lots of preminie going on, but not all altcoins have this issue Cool

Do what every other coin 'dev' does and copy the source code of another coin then change a few parameters, make sure you call it innovative and premine half the total coin supply.
