Default Building a cage: Questions

What tools would be needed to build a cage? I know I would need a bender and welder, but what kind of notcher should I use? I was looking at this HF one: - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

Will that work for getting all the correct angles and such for a cage?

How much tube should I expect to buy for a typical 6pt cage? or something like this: Jeep Cherokee $593.35 - Essentially Offroad

I am interested in chopping mine and putting a cage in for it. Has anyone drawn up plans for one?

After looking at the links provided it's almost hard to justify building one yourself.
