Cutting a 55 Gallon Drum
"Barry" wrote in message ... Greetings All! Just got an empty 55 gal. drum from a local eatery that held vegetable oil. I'd like to use it as a burn barrel, but the only opening is a small hole in the top for a syphon pump of some kind. Would appreciate some thoughts on how to cut the top off. My experience with metal working is limited to high school shop which is longer ago than I care to think about ;-). Thanks in advance! -Barry Fill it with water and put a metal cutting blade on whatever saw you happen to own and carve it off. The water will keep it from igniting if that is even possible with vegetable oil...good luck.... |
