I can't be asked to go look. Is Cristo dead? I can guarantee everyone here that I take more care with my bag of shekels than doing crazy shit like this, even for a laugh.

Material wise - if you used 11 gauge (easy thickness for welding) you would still have close to $1200 into building one.
It would probably take me 4 days to build a really nice one......
And I bet more to come..

At least this is news that's kind of fun.
