Wasn't Homer Simpson either.
He will find out that the Aldi price is rock-bottom.
All individual metal parts may cost just a bit less... so there is no point to put that additional effort (printing brackets etc).
If this was available a year ago (and if I knew what I know now) I wouldn't even consider to build mine then.
However, I must admit I had a lot of fun and learned a lot in a process.
