He may indeed. Thoughts are turning in that general direction, although
without a clue as to how to actually use the thing, or the types of
blade to purchase, plans are on hold.

Leaving the rim intact, as in your jigsaw approach, would leave
more rigidity in the barrel as well as dealing with cut
edges.
