[IBU] Keg conversion approach - keg lathe

[Meyer, David]

>From the intro-
 
"I have found instructions on how to convert kegs, using reciprocating
saws, grinder, and plasma cutters. But in my experience, kegs which are
ground or sawed generally produce uneven or oval openings. Plasma
cutters on the other hand produce outstanding openings; unfortunately I
don't have many friends who have them at their disposal. So I came up
with a different way of cutting the opening. In essence, I have created
a hand turned lathe for a keg. It cost me around 30 dollars, but
depending on your own personal inventory of tools, the cost may be
higher or lower. The project took about 3 hours which included the
construction, cutting out the opening and smooth out the edges."
 
If anyone builds one and has experience to report, it might be helpful
and interesting to hear about!

Okay, I give up: it's "nucular."
