I made mine from:
1 x Pipe Galvanised Medium (90NB Med Gal (101.6 OD x 4)) - 100mm - $4.96
1 x Pipe Medium (150NB Med Blk (165.1 OD x 4.8)) - 700mm - $42.48
2 x Flat Bar (200 x 6) - 200mm - $18.10
Total: $65.54

Welded it myself. Perhaps I'm being over confident, but I have no fears of weld failure given the load it will be holding. I did multi pass filter welds with an arc welder. From what I've heard there can be issues with MIG welds not getting enough fusion, but less of an issue with arc as long as the weld looks okay.
