Gary, I have an idea about how to align them quite cheaply and easily (with some patience).
Being a doodler...

What to do:

Once the markers/stoppers are in place, and the bowl is large enough to hold the four pole tips without falling off, it should be relatively easy to align it simply by adjusting it until the weight hangs directly over the center marker 'X' on the floor.
Another addition would be to drill holes through the tops of the poles, and to buy a steel/iron circle (two semi circles) and weld it together (leaving enough space for the hook in the center)...

That would give much more control for alignment (and stability).
