Sure they are easy to build.....only hrting thats good to buy is the
actual basket itself, alll other parts canbe made out of PVC pipe of 6
or 8" diam. Having a lathe is a nice help but still not necessary.
Unless you can buy the pvc etc cheap it may still be cheaper to buy
one already made as they are only about$60. A basket is about 9 or 10
bucks, and 6" or larger PVC is not exactly cheap, but its possible to
scrounge lots of this stuff up free of charge.

Has anyone here built their own?
