I would like to make a small cauldron from a 20 lb propane cylinder. The
valve has been removed and the tank rinsed clean and dry. I am looking for
suggestions regarding how to cut it in half. I do not have access to a
torch. Thanks.



A porta-band (portable band saw) ought to work good.


Except the throat is WAY too small. You need a BIG bandsaw if you are
going to bandsaw it. I'd grab a big cutoff saw and rotate the tank
under it.
