Antenna Lust

[winneganfake]

The one thing I still lust for- the giant broken antenna lying in the alley near our apartment building. It's big. It's gorgeous. A wonderfully tall, wonderfully durable all-metal framework just begging to be converted into a new display stand for Tormented Artifacts. If it were about two or three feet shorter. As it is, I can't even get it up into our apartment building. And the pipes that make this thing are at least a quarter-inch thick. Not something I want to try and take a hacksaw to. I don't suppose anyone's recently acquired (or just plain has and would be willing to abuse) a cutting torch and the necessary skill to use it effectively? Hell, I'll even do trade for it- gasmask art for cutting, or the extra remains of the antenna, if scrap metal's what you're into.

Sadly I do not, otherwise I'd totally help you scavenge.

I have a Dremel and a bunch of cutting blades, but my inkling is that this is a much more intensive job than can be accomplished with said dremel.

Yeah, this thing would probably eat the Dremel's motor for breakfast. Thanks though.

Part of me really wants to find out if a blowtorch would do the job, but I don't want to go to the expense of picking one up, plus sparker, etc only to have it do nothing more than just get it hot.

You might be able to post a 'I will pay you _cool thing_ if you come do this' onto craigslist in the barter section. People are oddly responsive to that list.
