That surely exceeds the test results done by Mike Loades for the Weapon's that built Britain.

With S. Stratton doing them they'd chew through Milanese plate like cloth! :)

beautiful man, how did you cut the brake drum like that?? can you give me some details?? like what you have inside for the fire pot??

@jonneyj

I cut the brake drum by drilling a series of holes through the cast iron rim. These holes were touching next to each other, like the perforations on a postage stamp, so that I could carefully chip off the piece by tapping it with a hammer - until it cracked. The edges were then ground smooth with an angle grinder. There is a flat steel disc mounted to the wheel stud holes, which then has the air pipe coming in through the bottom.
