With my method I don't think it would take me more than a half hour to drill it off. Maybe the other fellows could do it faster with their grinders but my preferred method would still be the drill.

Maybe you could put your box back on loosely to hold it steady while you work to get the rag joint coupling apart.
Sounds like a good time to go with the collapsible column if not there already
