Keg to Kettle Conversion (part 1)

Plasma cutters do rock! I used one all summer long working in construction. I like how nice you created the opening. Was it freehand? We had a guide that fitted around the ceramic tip of the tool, it had 2 wheels on it that were adjustable for scribing it would work great but doesn't look like you would need it.

I didn't have a plasma cuter so I used my grinder and it was a little louder but got the job

I don't have a plasma cutter, and I'm not sure how I could make a nice cut with a grinder. How did yours turn out?

very nice. It took a little cleaning up but farly clean.

if you cut from the outside just under the weld and stop about half an inch to an inch before the handle holds.. then cut down the handle rim to meet these cuts and across the inside and do some cleaning up you have a big ol' pot that you can pour out of without getting crap everywhere.. also you have no silly ridge on the inside

that sounds like the best way can you post a vid

Bravo. That is a beautiful cut. My hands shake a bit. Sucks for PAC but helps me with GTAW X3

No slag stuck to the inside of the keg during cutting. It cleaned up very nicely.
