You may also be interested in going the cheap route using PVC pipe. You may also need a miter saw or table saw to cut the pipes, not necessarily for length but to accurately cut the sides.

You inspired me to make my own similar version, I had a length of PVC the right length (left over from another project) with a piece cut out to form a semicircular. Cut it in half and used some aluminum to hold the 2 pieces together. Can hold 2 cups with a bit of crowding but seems to be stable.

What is the size of the pipe you used?
