Yes, two things.

First of all, I know you're not a metal fabricator or anything... but they make this thing called a "Cut-off" wheel. You can mount it to an angle grinder a bench grinder... whatever. You can even get on and put it on the rotary tool that you use to engrave china sets for your wife. If you bring your happy self to oklahoma... I'll even do it for you.

Second, I'd get your other stand dipped... in the coating that Bowtech used for the finish on their new bows.
