Now that's the best idea I've heard yet.  For those who are asking about
these things, the ones pictured are about 14" in diameter and 10-12" tall
and weigh about 20# each.  One is marked as '18000# test' on one side and
36000# on the other, the other one is marked just as 40000#.. and yes, those
are the tension ratings... a bit more than your every day 1/4" ehs.  With a
bit of machining or welding they would probably make good tower base
insulators also.
