Buy vs build, i slowly accumulated my parts/ metal. so it wasnt a lump sum all at once.
other thing is living in the outskirts it isnt so easy to order something and have it delivered.

buy is quick, and if you put any value on your time,you come out ahead to buy.

I did the same. I bought the plans and a bunch of laser cut parts from a guy on line (ones that would be difficult or a pain to cut myself), as well as tyhe hardware kit. Then I bought all my metal from a local guy that sells for scrap weight value (mostly new overstock metal, but some used). Saved a bundle. I bought heavier than spec for some and modified the design on a couple things I wanted to improve upon. With purchase of jacks and castors I figure I'm about $800 - $900 in plus my time. Had I bought new it would've been cheaper if you consider my time to weld and paint, plus drilling all the required holes, but I enjoyed building mine and I know what I have. You have to consider all factors before you start.
