I've been rather busy with some other projects and don't have an angle grinder, so I had someone else cut an opening in my keg for a lid for me.
The opening is a bit "out of round" so it looks a bit odd. They also cut the opening undersized (maybe 1/4" - 1/2" or so), so I have some wiggle room to enlarge it enough to fit the lid I have. Has anyone here repaired their keg from a similar issue?
I was thinking of making some sort of wooden jig that would sit over the upper skirt portion (or whatever it is called, with the cutouts for handles) that could hold a marker or scribe at the correct distance to mark a line to grind/sand the opening. I think the skirt has a bit of a bend to it, so it also is not likely completely round.
Any other ideas? Maybe even just a straight board that can fit against the skirt on the inside that i could use to space a marker/scribe/cutter at the proper diameter?
As far as cutting goes, I'm guessing my best bet would be to actually go buy an angle grinder? I do have a dremel, but that would take forever.
