XLexus, believe me, I had planned to weld one up. I have done a lot of welding so I know exactly what it would take to do it. I was at the goodguys show, eyeballing the Autotwirler rotisserie and taking a couple of pictures.
Later, while I was talking with someone else, My wife went back to the Autotwirler guys, and ordered one for me. Yep, she is a keeper.
In retrospect, I'm really glad that she did, since my free time these days is quite limited. In my case, more often than not, it's TIME saved, that is better spent on the car.
No one is going to build the equal of an Autotwirler for $400, using new steel. The Autotwirler Deluxe costs $1100.
It can certainly be done for your proposed $400 and maybe even less, if you are getting the steel at scrap yard prices (as I was going to do) or for free, etc...if you have the connections, time and patience to find it all.
Another great option is to find a rotisserie that someone no longer needs, they do pop up from time to time.
