How hard/expensive would it be for a welder to cut an olympic barbell in two? I want to have one modified to have parellel grips, which means 4 cuts, then rotating two small pieces 90 degrees, then welding some thick rings to the long pieces and putting the parallel grips inside the thick rings. Do you think it could be done well for under $200? What type of shop could do it dependably enough? I want it to be trustable with $250 pounds and not fatigue in the first 2-3 years.
