Err.... which DIY method of cutting a metal drum in two were you
imagining would leave a nice "safe" edge?? & how?


I imagined cutting into the lid against the existing rim, such that the
lid would come out leaving the rim in place.

Then your left with a flat steel disk that cant be used as a lid.

If you'll be punching holes in the bottom who needs a lid?
