    Because what's the fun in just buying stuff? And fabricating one is a lot cheaper than buying a premade one

    I think im going to polish it, haven't decided if I'm going to grind the welds away or leave them.

    That's ridiculous!!!

    I've got maybe $150 tied up in this, and really could of done it cheaper if I used aluminum and didn't be lazy about npt plugs and just machined them myself. Maybe I'll make some out of aluminum and sell them for cheaper than the other options.
