fireman 11,465 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 The bottom 3rd of a gas bottle is a good heavy water bowl that won't be tipped over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slingshot82 32 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 will take hours with a 4 1/2 inch grinder borrow a sthil saw with 12 inch metal blade if you can be done in seconds Depends on the disc. I use 1mm cutting discs for aluminium and sheet steel. They cut like a hot knife through butter, but you need to be careful not to put any side load on them or they break up Kyle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ive got a few spare gas bottles, plan to make a woodburner. Worth mentioning to anyone who thinks they are a good idea for 'recycling' I plan on taking off the valve, filling with water for a few days to remove/lessen the risk of BOOM when I startcutting them up.

Chid, I can't polish a bucket lol, if it's in my house it's got to be shiny, I've got a bit of a shiny fetish! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
