rotisserie plans and pics

How much would one expect to pay for all the steel and accessories to make their own rotisserie? Every time I look at this, it seems to me the the materials aren;t that cheap. It might be worth my time to just go buy one that's already built and tested - rather than making my own only to save a couple hundred bucks.

Last time I checked on materials it was about $330-400 here depending on supplier. Steel took a huge jump over the last few years. 3 years ago, I could have bought all the steel for roughly $175. I think steel prices are starting to come back down after the scrap went through the roof and is now back to a more reasonable level.

Takes about 6-12 hours to build with basic metal working skills/tools. Just make sure you know how to weld. Unless I figure my time at about 80-100/hr, it makes sense to me to build my own.
