How big is your turtle and how big is the tank he's in now? Depending on the size of your turtle, rather than making a tank, you could try using something like a Rubbermaid storage container (you'd have to make the support for it), at least temporarily, or get a stock tank (cheaper than a tank and no work involved). If you check classifieds and on-line sites like www.craigslist.org you may be able to find a cheap used one.

If you look in the Photo Gallery, you should be able to find pics of above-tank basking areas.

The best investment for the size you need would be in a 100 gallon stock tank.
