Buff Dudes DIY Roman Chair

I have been looking for one of these for a crazy long time and this is just the solution I have been looking for.  Unfortunately, I am not a metal worker or welder.  

Materials 1-1/2" 14 gauge square tubing (1.67 pounds/foot)

2x48"

2x21"

2x21"

4x18"

2x9"

2x4"

23" pipe

Wood for seat, padding and staples

Pricing out at Metals Depot in Denver (all custom cut)

48" = $15 each

23" = $8.75 each

21" = $7.50 each

18" = $6.75 each

9" = $4.50 each

4" = $3.25 each

$111.25 metal

23.2 feet of metal at $1.67 lb/ft = 39 pounds

I reached out to Gonzo Welding Co for a fabrication quote.  It is 16 joints and I have to believe the project would take 2-4 hours.  If it could be managed for $200, I will have to follow through.

I have also thought about purchasing this DIY device from Facebook Marketplace (currently listed for $30).  I could mount my bench to the wood and have a suitable roman chair.  I might have to get shorter 3/4" nipples to get the foot rest height correct.

Thirdly, I bought an Ab Amigo and could mount it to the wall in front of my bench.  This would be the most efficient solution in terms of space.

Finally, I could have a commercial roman chair modified to be flat instead of a 15 degree angle.
