Custom Made sheet meal Tool Box Was it worth the time and effort?

Custom Home Made Tool Box.
This box is made from sheet metal .035, 1/2" square tubing for the frame,1/4 " ply veneer, 10 sets of sliders from e-bay, ten drawer handles from home depot, 3/8 rod with 1/4 " steel base's for the handles. riveted the drawers together, welded the tubing together. used some epoxy for the face boards. 3/4x 3/4 angle for top rail.
The question that begs to be asked is how much did it cost compared to store bought ones?
$130.00. you decide if its a good deal. the box is 12"wx12"hx43"L with 10 drawers. 40 hours labor.
