Wow… cutting out the tops of drums! What memories!
Over 50 years ago, I earned the money for my first dirt bike by selling my father’s old metal drums as burning barrels. I tried a cold chisel and hammer. Then a metal cutting blade on a jigsaw. Finally, I went pro and bought a drum “deheader” for something like $25… expensive back then! I only got $3/barrel!
A few years ago, I bought another one. Now, it’s around $100 but pretty much the same design. Makes a clean cut, like a can opener.
