shovel leaner 7,650 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Ive got one that was given to me ,so i didnt make it .It was cut in half longways ,so youve got two halves.Discard one half.With some box section ,weld some legs on it ,it will now look like a feed trough.Nick a shopping trolley, and cut a section of the stainless mesh to fit .Then in the half barrel,weld some supports for the mesh.Job done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest scramble Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 A grinder and 1 mm slitting discs will give you a better cut than a 12" stihlI've cut loads of these with a 12" disc cutter, nice and easy of you take your time thats just savage!! Have you no finesse you animal To add. It won't make an iota of difference what it had in. You won't create enough heat within to cause it to combust whilst cutting. Unless it was toxic waste. Then you may melt or grow an extra leg. Ive cut these free hand, no chalk, blue, nothing. you couldn't cut it better with a laser i dont trust used barrels but your right cutting wouldn't cause any problems. we're all born with webbed feet round here a 3rd led wouldn't be a surprise to anybody 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lost Generation 93 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 A guy just up the road from me was killed last year when the oil drum he was cutting up to make a BBQ exploded, so make sure you wash it out really well first with detergent and hot water 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
