I don't know the kind of weight you're working with, but I find that a Swiss Ball can work well as a weight bench- even better because you're training your sense of balance at the same time. It's also good for stretching and ab work, and it's CHEAP- I got my heavy duty swiss ball at Wal-mart for... $15 maybe?

If you feel like you must have a weight bench, I don't see them being really hard to make with some plywood and batting (padding) and pleather. However, not having done this myself, I can't say for sure.
