    I built my own out of short lengths of scaffolding.

    If your mate works in steel works i'm sure you can put something together out of box section, BOLT it tho, don't weld it unless you are good.

    If i had box section steel, hacksaw, a drill and some bolts i could cobble one together in about 3 hours i reckon, so could you.

    Power racks can be cheaply made by metal workers and the design is fairly straight forward, that's how mine was born and it's strong, can be dis-assembled and is exactly the right size.
    As for the other equipment you could try your local newspaper, ours often has cheap equipment from people 'giving up' and they might even deliver for you.
