Are you saying using a plasma torch is ghetto?

No im saying a plasma torch is prob the easiest and most efficient. Otherwise doing it like this is normal, everyone jerry rigs up their own contraption to get it to work. Nothing ghetto about it

I gotta disagree about easy/efficient plasma cutting. Still need a jig, and way more work cleaning up the cut edge and all the slag and stuff left in keg. That's air hose for plasma torch in left of second pic. Made the jig and cut two more kegs in less time than it took grinding edge of hole after plasma cutting.

And of course, here's mine, scrap of 2x6 and some angle that was laying around. No straps, clamps or bungee cords....

2" hole saw, self tapping screws to attach the angle, couple of 3/8" bolts in the handle mount. If diameter changes as disk wears, loosen the bolts and adjust angle. Salvage 2x6 ended up splitting and had to screw on a strap.
