[4hogwilder]

Step Bit over  Hole Saw, every time!!

[15gary37]

Thanks; wishes that I had watched this video before I made my setup.

[cdm64]

Nice work. Now make me one.

[spokehedz]

Wouldn't it have made more sense to clean it after you drilled the holes and marked on it with the marker?

[dchijp]

hey, great video. question: what should be the height of the two holes? the valve hole and the hole fir a themometer?

[Drontproduction]

Thanks for the video, I'm just about to convert a keg and your videos definitely helped out! cheers

[fredfisher33]

Honed your skills at the Osan sheet metal shop, perhaps?

[reeding]

your ears must be ringing afte all that drilling

[chemicalcraig69]

xylene w/o gloves. yikes.

[Cr3ater]

there are different lvls of xylene. A low type of xylene, you dont need gloves, it just dries your skin a little bit

[maphound]

How high up is the hole above the inside bottom of the keg?

[TylerSpilker]

Are those boots brahmas ? lol

I am so excited to convert my keg that I am getting as a freebie on monday!

[av8or233]

I did forget the safety glasses on this one. My mistake. Leather gloves are a little over the top for drilling sheet metal, though.

[masteroftheuniverse9]

Great video, but lack of safety equipment! Leather gloves and eye protection are a must folks! You never know when a shard of metal will fly off!

[squidjuicejones]

safety sam says "allways wear safety glasses whne drilling"

[BobbyFromNJ]

I'm convinced that a bimetel hole saw is easier now that I see the step bit in action. Cheaper too;-)

[av8or233]

I tend to disagree. Though hole saws are cheaper, they tend to dull quickly. I DESPISE drilling stainless (and most other metal) with hole saws. The step bits give you very precisely sized, almost perfectly round holes, and they don't dull nearly as fast. Personal preference, I suppose.

[ibander]

as a metal worker hole saws would be my preference. but use whatever ur comfortable with and are used to.

If i decided to make this a fermenter rather than a boil pot, what would ur recommended height be for the hole center? that is based on holding 5 gallon batches.

Yuri, nice work on the "ethically" located keg.
