When I was 17 yrs old....worked in a Ford body shop. We had about 20 empty barrels that no one would take unless they were cut in half. So the boss said for me to cut an opening in them with air shears, rinse really good with water, then cut them in half with plasma cutter.
About the 7th one, has I hot it with the plasma cutter, BOOM!!
Luckly the hole I cut open was big enough the barrel didn't explode, but the deep boom rattled the windows in the front show room. .......the show room was at least 800 plus yards away. ( body shop, parts department, mechanics area, drive threw for service department, then you walk into show room or sales floor........so it was a good ways up front)
Boss, said....... I think we will worry about the rest of.them some other time!
