Nothing you don't get on a cheapo ebay paddock stand for £30 quid.

I'm going to get some offcuts off ebay and make one, just to see how much it costs. If I get enough materials for two and you do the welding you can have one of them!
And only about £40 of actual materials in an iPhone. Any chance you could knock me up one of those when you're done too.
