Default twisting 6ft long stock?

I am thinking about twisting together three pieces of 1/4 round stock. To make legs for a pub height (40") table. I have a gasser forge that is set up with a back door to pass thru. I'm thinking I'll arc weld the three together at each end then heat a section at a time and keep putting one end in the vise to twist each section.

I would appreciate any ideas one may have to keep this operation simple, painless and cost effective.
