Light Air Tank
I love old propane tanks. Make nice portable grills too. I unscrew the valve and fill them completely with water before cutting, in order to drive out any residual gas. Don't need any unplanned explosions. Build a good charcoal fire in them then to drive off anything, they tend to stink of gas if not. I cut this one in half and use it as my melting pot for smelting lead wheel weights and pure lead flashing, into smaller ingots. Got through 200+ pounds this last weekend. That will make a lot of bullets and jig heads. The shroud/handle on top was buzzed off and cut then welded back on as a set of handles for the lower half of the pot.
