And I keep seeing these guys with these converted kegs into brew pots. I'm not that good with my hands and don't have the tools. Is there anyone I van buy one of these from?
Ive been watching tons of videos on homebrew

Here's an online seller:

Never bought there. I found a person selling some decommisioned kegs and since I have plenty of tools and a small bit of skill with a 2" grinder, I converted my own.

I think I could cut the hole but how did you get the valve in I know I can't weld.
there is probably a welding shop or a metal fabricator close to you ( I have one about a mile away) take it there and tell em what you need done... offer some free homebrew as incentive.
If you use a step bit to drill a spot, you can install a weldless fitting instead of welding it. They can be easily taken apart too.

+1 on the weldless fitting....being able to take it apart and clean it makes it better than a welded valve, IMO. The only drawback is you have to replace the seal gaskets about every 2 years.

@Charlie-did you contact ferman? I got 2 from him already and if you are in Philly he is less than a half hour away. They make a bunch of them welded with Blichmann Brewmometers already attached and sight glasses if you want!
