Oh, Im not condoning this type of behavior...just saying that its been done....no, its not safe at all...

I would consider myself VERY lucky if I could find some stands for 20 bucks that would fit under my frame!

My buddy that owns a shop let me borrow these Lincoln stands the blue and yellow ones)...I think they are around 500 dollars for the pair..
