Well, its true that you can make a pot still for a lot less, but if you were to make a pot still out of copper the price would be comperable or more. Here's a link to an 18 quart copper stockpot on sale for a MERE $320 Copper Stock Pot. A copper lid to put over that stockpot will run you $40-$60. Then you have the column, the condenser, and the value of your time to figure.

Of course, for me, making the still is half the fun...

indeed, and the reward feels so much better when you've made it from scratch.
