I got my first opportunity to visit (with a rather attractive model) the photography studio (basic) because its booked all the time. I built a large lightbox at home and I noticed it reminded me of the "cookie" light. I put a tungsten work light low right next to the "sweep" I believe they call it and it produced light that looks the same to my eyes. The basic studio has no flash so I can't say much about those, but I was wondering if its possible to have a budget, diy studio with continuous lights. My schedule is not flexible enough to book 2 weeks in advance!

Possible? Yes.

Practical? Not really.

For photographing anything with a pulse, continuous lights are weak, produce a lot of heat, and consume a lot of power.
