I knew a man who was killed cutting open a transmission fluid (oil)barrel just as you did. He should have known better because of his trade, but he got in a hurry.I cannot stress enough that it only takes a few grams of vaporized hydrocarbons mixed with air to for the LEL (lower explosive limit) of many oils and combustable hydrocarbons. Even 'empty drums contain combustable traces and plastic coatings. Washing will not remove the traces. Fill the drum up with water to the cut line or fill the drum with an inert gas.

[@ericbertschinger2101]

Pump exhaust gas from a lawn more into it.

My preferred method of ensuring I don't hey blown up is to safely burn it out intentionally. I use this method especially when cutting old gas bottles for up-cycling. It may sound scary but a little understanding and a lot of careful-ing ensures no explosion. For gas (in my case propane) bottles remove the valve ensemble with a wrench, a good long blast with compressed air (minutes NOT seconds!) ignite any remaining vapors in bottle with a remote ignition device of any type --- I made an electric spark ignitor very simply from an old sparkplug and wire, but there's no doubt dozens of other options. It's worth noting that the spark ignitor will fail to ignite the propane if there still an enormous concentration of gas in the bottle, so it's only for AFTER degassing the bottle with compressed air. For barrels as shown it's even simpler. If the ambient temperature is lower that the vapor point of the oil/fuel inside its super fast; a quick flush with compressed air "just in case" there are vapors still inside from previous heat cycling. Then light it on fire deliberately while cutting. It's most likely there will not be enough residue to light, even intentionally, so I like to use methyl hydrate alcohol. Poor in a bit, light it, start cutting. It might sound weird but if it's actively burning inside its impossible for it to explode from vapor ignition. May sound strange but both are explosion safe methods and don't involve waiting for water to fill the volume of the vessel in question. For small propane tank/bottles it's maybe not so bad. But 200L/55gal is a whole lot of volume to fill through a garden hose. It is worth noting though, if you want 100% dummy proof, no thinking required, guaranteed to to get the "safety guy" sign off, your pretty much left with water or a noble gas fill. So use good judgment in choosing a boom-proof protocol folks!

[@OMT-eh9ug]

Aahh, Eugene and his security shoes :-))))🤣

[@streetcat1510]

Love the Croc safety shoes!!

[@mikehudick7074]

I know a guy who used to work with heavy sheet steel while wearing Crocs... we all call him PADDLEFOOT now!!

[@kaptainasskrak]

Started watching the thumbnail of this video and right away I saw problem. Never ever ever cut a barrel like this. Especially one that contained a petroleum product or really anything for that matter. Please let me explain before skipping this comment because what I have to say could save your life. First thing is I knew someone who died because of doing this exact same thing, cutting open a barrel with a grinder or circular saw. It exploded and ripped him in half. He died slowly, like hours. Here is why. Specifically in the case of this video, that barrel used have engine oil in it, which is flammable if you didn't know. And cutting it with a tool that creates spark and may produce a static charge makes this a potential bomb. Especially more dangerous keeping the barrel openings closed. Prepare for capital letters. CUTTING STEEL AND PLASTIC BARRELS WITH POWER TOOLS CAN LEAD TO EXPLOSIONS REGARDLESS OF ITS CONTENTS. I am not kidding about this. Don't do this ever, not at work, not at home, not at your grandma's house, never. First off you can't clean out a closed top barrel like this one. It is nearly impossible to remove all flammable materials from a barrel like this. And to create an explosion you only need a little bit of flammable material to make this thing blow up. I don't care what sort of precautions this guy took to not explode. My opinion is that without filling the barrel with water before cutting your just asking for a death sentence. Seriously. There are tools you can use to cut open a barrel. Just not anything that can throw spark or create a static charge. Like tin snips for example, or a sheet metal cutter, but not a saw of any kind. If you don't believe me, well I guess it's your funeral buddy. Good luck out there. Stay safe. Don't cut closed top barrels with power tools. I am not suggesting this guy is an idiot at all. He is more than likely just not knowledgeable of this fact, which I wasn't until this person I knew died from doing this exact same thing. Thank you for reading.

[@handyEliot]

Fun fact, you can easily clean this kind of barrel, hence cut it with a grinder in a safe way. Also, seeing how clean it is inside when it's opened at 0:38 it proves you're wrong saying it can't be cleaned properly. I won't deny the fact people should know that they need to clean it properly tho, and maybe a tutorial to help them do so.

[@kaptainasskrak]

@@handyEliot Maybe you have the know how to clean the inside of this barrel but most do not know that it needs to be done in the first place. My main concern is someone starts cutting into a barrel made from anything and is using a grinding wheel, of all things. The one tool that through sparks everywhere whenever they are cutting metal. Just be safe, spend a few minutes filling this thing with water then cut it with a grinding wheel. And jeez a Sawzall with a ferros cutting blade would work too, and throw way less sparks. All I'm saying is this is a great way to blow yourself up with little effort. Yeah the video shows him cleaning the outside of the barrel but what good is that gonna do when your throwing molten hot sparks in a 10 foot arc.

[@user-ug6tb6li9m]

Можно наполнить бочку водой ,вода вытеснит скопившиеся газы и обработка металла станет безопасной

[@donaldshimkus539]

Excellent project with timeless good looks. Glad to see safety first with goggles, ear protection and Crocs.

[@ANRQAngel]

Very nice, now I would've used the bottom plate that you cut out as a door that can be closed like a cabinet..

[@craigtegeler4677]

Great job Eugene! As always!

[@magnuspitruzelli]

I formulated the factors by a time honored Bar-B-Que construction technique.

[@zzzz-ok7733]

That is the best drum bbq I've seen yet!👍

[@Gordon_L]

Good job overall , I think I'd prefer stainless steel for the grill rather than painted old chrome to cook on though .

[@CreativeIdeasMaker]

You made a beautiful and useful product. This product is very useful for weekends. Thank you for sharing this fun idea. We are waiting for your next creative videos.

[@stuartmccloud307]

Awesome work. You've just given me some great inspiration for a project, thanks man!

[@shimonnygaard2265]

Crocs and Bear Hands my kind of man!!!!💪🏻

[@michaeldowney8429]

Love the crocs for safety footwear!

[@brzibung]

terrific work. I enjoy watching your innovative use of common materials to make something unique.

[@peterbarlow8912]

More useful than the barrel/stepladder(?). Keep it away from the vinyl siding in the background. Gas’s grills have melted siding on many porches.

[@llapmsp]

Very clever build. Thanks for sharing.

[@stanleycarlock5624]

Absolutely ingenious!

[@SC.243k]

Very professional work, Thanks my friend ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@barbaravela9761]

What a out of this world great idea that is

[@brucehollmig4738]

That looks so good to eat .

[@lpis45]

Amazing idea. Well done

[@Sawtooth70]

Brilliant! Great job, great vision. 🍖 ❤

[@jimsoltner8978]

Wow I like that! Good job. Cheers

[@Robert_Keel]

Very nice design and implementation!

[@woodymartl]

Hello i'm Martin from Bavaria, thanks for this Video and you've done a very good. Best wishes for the next work from Bavaria, for you and the family all the best. 🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@highmileagehusband1915]

Ah The fusion of wood and metal. It's The stuff dreams are made of. If you could drop depth of grill a wee bit you could actually close the lid and be able to add a "Smoke" ability to it.

[@belindacumberland5326]

Absolutely awesome 👌

[@IrfanMahmood64]

Good job.

[@kulebyakinjoe]

But it’s a cool idea, we need to try to do it too

[@johnmcguigan6717]

great piece of metalwork mate, brilliant

[@michaelbradley7529]

You're not much of a welder, but you have quite the eye for design and quite good with the angle grinder. Very cool build all things considered.

[@user-dz6uj3bc4d]

Very nice project look's amazing

[@Qspecialman]

Great idea!

[@nathanhale7444]

Oh yea like I just so happen to have a 55 gallon drum just laying around......... Oh wait I do..... Carry on.

[@josephscroggins1071]

I like your dream! It's wicked cool

[@karhu100]

Loving the health and safety of wearing eye protection on your forehead haha we’ve all done it!

[@stevengensley3026]

Great job keep up the great work

[@marcelo_rcosta]

Muito legal! Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷

[@johnathanakers7510]

Ok, ol boys’ just showin’ off. His amazing skill and talent makes me sick…! LOL!! But fur realz though, I’m jealous

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Excellent job man, nice.....

[@schev4ik]

great barbecue, super

[@amaroussama]

Greatest idea ever

[@eltonsbbq-pit]

Nice work!

[@hasuo9749]

Gangplank was looking for his barrels... Il catch him whit Ilaoi and tell him that you have an upgrade for him.

[@christopherleblanc9599]

very cool design

[@thefriendlygrizzley6728]

Nice!

[@flyinpolack6633]

nice job!

[@markschultz1606]

I like the part where you made me one. 🤣

[@Leeho1969]

Bravo!

[@davidpayne4315]

Pretty good

[@jamesberwick2210]

Now that you've teased me, what time is dinner and where do I call for a reservation? Neat project.

[@cheeseparis1]

Nice barbecue, I feel you have lots of them if your shop ... unless your friends want to keep the grill each time you invite them!

[@DRock70]

Very Kool

[@keupondestroy911]

Merci beaucoup pour la vidéo

[@Wingerdt]

Nice top

[@simonegiannini7552]

Complimenti sei un genio 👍👨‍🎓

[@waltdavis29]

The problem with those types of barrels is they never last. Heat is the enemy

[@vinceianni4026]

Hi mister good job

[@ocsapy]

Nice 😎😎😎😎😎

[@SAMsHomeRenovations69247]

Very nice idea. A little more grate area would have been nice or being able to put in an insert.

[@irynapetrova6559]

Ну бочка предназначена для машинного масла... Это чем надо было ее отмыть ...для устранения запаха масла...а при высоких температурах я вообще молчу.... Может я ошибаюсь... Но это странно.

[@johnpugel8388]

Neat. But I'd rather just buy a grill for a small fraction of the price.

[@Robert_Keel]

I like your shop. Hope you have an electronics friend/manufacturing engineer who can motorize that hand crank for you? Easy to do.......

[@xursand8496]

Молодец очен класс👍

[@elroythegreat1590]

I thought it would be a great beer mug 🍺

[@djordjejon4849]

Exellent main frend 🍻 My greetings from serbia 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@benjyruzz]

How come you opted for tacks instead of small welds when doing the welding?

[@chrisb5564]

all that work for a grill surface big enough to cook one burger lol

[@bobmrkus3185]

How do you come up with those great ideas?

[@bgbc1980]

[@ebre3080]

1:22 funny dance.

[@richardschneider4775]

Very nice but 99.9% of us do not have the tools talent time or cash to make a kebob grill out of a barrel.

[@stigyanblue1442]

Need to hook up that bar bending tool to a drill or a bicycle or something

[@josephpacheco7508]

Did you paint the inside and grill and then cook on it?

[@jorisdugouchet6243]

👏👌

[@nigelevans4037]

If only I could weld !!

[@suecollins3246]

Go and _learn_ damn'it! They probably give extra-mural lessons at your local high school. Welders earn _good money_ !

[@dooleyknoted5951]

Are those steel toe Crocs?

[@djukamali6341]

Any idea what to make from brake discs?

[@fnafplayer6447]

Knives

[@dirtybirdy2182]

Not exactly versatile, but a nice piece of maker art.

[@tigheiramo-baker8156]

Nice job but to be safe it’s best to wash out the inside of the drum first otherwise it could explode when using an angle grinder!

[@SharpObserver1A]

Only for kababs ! not a super good idea !! >> But your Patio has a super nice flooring.

[@diddymuck]

For 29 bucks u can buy a used webber.

[@robertfripp62]

Mas valía comprar la torreta de un tanque de guerra que tanto desperdicio de material y tiempo para hacer 4 pinchos y unos tristes langostinos. Cualquiera pavada hace la gente.

[@amalfi460]

Nothing like the taste of synthetic oil flavored meat

[@fabiencote7872]

je ne veut pas rabajoie mais il est imposible que le couvercle souvre de cette façon si les pièces mobile sont soudé. (voir vidéo à 4;16 )

[@kuki7500]

I am from Uruguay and our basic diet is meat and the Pizza or Meet only ca do in two ways or in a brick oven or outdoors over the ground in metal container taste not good

[@user-hy7uk3rv1m]

Почему в англоязычном аккаунте, уголь по русски написан?

[@robertfripp62]

Porque será ruso pienso yo. Hace un tanque de guerra para llevar bolsas de carbón, porque para cocinar es una estupidez y pérdida de tiempo y material. Pero bueno.... Él recibe el aplauso de gente que lo hace como 🐒 y tal vez lo hace feliz.

[@TenBuckCanuck]

Umm...if that is your dream come true, you should probably get out more.

[@Robert31352]

Reading your tag line, you must have shallow dreams.

[@jeremiahhughes626]

I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how the hinges were welded to both the lid and the bracket and still were able to turn. Evidently the part where that was corrected was cut from the video. Cool build though.

[@ahmadslami1037]

O.k

[@KE4YAL]

If I was that good at welding an that precise with an angle grinder I’d be doing more with my time than making KZbin videos sorry I just can’t see it

[@claywelch2872]

A matabo blade is already a very dangerous tool and this yahoo has used it cutting in the left side of the grinder. It might be ok on this paper thin stuff but a very bad example!!!!

[@axemastersinc3269]

0:04 lol. Really? That is and always has been and will always be a 55 gallon drum. Good grief.
