iodyn,

You can always make a bolt together version of the tool I described. Just use something rigid like 1 1/2" angle iron. I made a diagram, but I can't get it to post. I'll e-mail it to you.

Alternatively, you could use a jig saw with a metal blade rather than the gas torch.

Good luck, Dennis
