Don't forget that other one. Miller makes it and Lincoln, hobart. I would stay away from clark. But they pay for themselves.

I have a welder here at home. What would be the best size metal to make it out of? Any pics of a homebrew one?

I would use 1/4 stand it on end. Then put gussets every 6 inches or so. On frunt and back sides going 1/2 way down the tube. Should be all you need and cost ten bucks!
