For those who are thinking about making your own Keggles, I'll pass on a bit of experience for the two that I made. The first one was quite interesting. I tried drilling a hole and using a sawzall, but could not make the curve. The blade broke. I then got out my Dremel. The Dremel was very accurate, but slow going. I went through the cutting disks like crazy. It was a PIA to get the screwdriver out every minute to replace a worn down disk. The reinforced ones did not last that much longer anyway.
I manage to get the top off my first one and am 10% done with the second keg, when I run out of discs. Off to Home Depot I go and lo and behold, If find this gadget. The Dremel EZ Lock Cutting Wheel. Bigger and you can change it out in seconds.
Needless to say, my second Keggle was finished lickity split. I highly recommend it. The edges were clean and easy to smooth down. This puppy rocks! I have a 15.5 Gallon HLT and Kettle and doing a third keg for a MLT will not be a chore.
