Hi guys. Over the years i have made many things out of old gas bottles/cylinders. This time i am making a mini water feature for the patio, and hopefully give you a heads up on whats involved. Hope you enjoy Paul.

I just love the fact that like me, you make do and mend, arent sponsored by a tool company so have to buy secondhand or on sale and have a real workshop thats full of "stuff" and in a state of untidyness. Keep em coming big fella.

I agree David Tyers! Nice to see a real life situation. Makes my huge hoard in the garage seem "normal" I am always buying used stuff to repurpose.

Hey mate- follow this protocol- Its what Ive done for 20 years of cutting cylinders open- check my stove videos on my channel. Take it outside, loosen bleed screw on side of brass valve - bleed until empty, Remove the valve with a tool made from 50NB steam pipe and a pry bar or stilson wrench. turn it upside down and go have your cup of tea. When you come back- Its ready to cut or grind. I guarantee you will not die using this method. To give you some idea of how many I do, Each christmas I take the brass taps in for recycling. 4-6 buckets full each year.

What a great idea! Looks fantastic! Mind you , im in 2 split minds of making a wood stove from a gas bottle simply because i dont want second degree burns all over my face. So , respect to you for having the nerve to cut through it. Well done lad great effort! 🙌👌🏽

nice chair :). Maybe an idea to tuck the bag under the copper ring and then cut off. That said, nice bit of creative juice

Nice work Paul, I was thinking if LPG is heavier than air, it may be better to turn the tank upside down to let the gas out 🤔 With arc welding does it not matter about the paint? I see other go to great lengths to clean there parts back to metal before welding or is it not really necessary? I guess the arc burns off the paint as you go along? I don’t know 🤔 Turned out nice 👍🏼😀

@SHARPEYSWORKSHOP 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Greg I've tried many different ways to ensure there's no gas in the tank and believe me nothing works 100% it's just a case of keeping fingers crossed lol as for welding stick welding very forgiving you can get away with not cleaning unless you need a pretty weld for a picture lol hope your ok bud keep safe

The safest way to cut a cylinder is to fill it with water.
