There isn't muc to one, so I suppose it is the limited production that keeps the cost high. I think I could make one for a lot less than they sell for, but that would depend on your resources. Once you have a good one, you will wonder how you managed without it. I would also suggest that 8X10 is too small. I would suggest something at least 50% larger.
