Wanted: Sanke Keg Or 30g Steel Drum. Portland, OR

admin

For some reason I'm having a helluva time finding either one of these things around here. 30 gallon steel drums seem especially scarce for some reason lately. If anyone might have either of these things available in the portland/metro area, please, let a guy know! Thanks!Mike
Reply:Just on the off chance that it will work for you...and by doing a Google of Sanke kegs it probably won't. If by steel drums you are speaking of the typical oil barrel, and you probably aren't, I found mine locally by heading to the nearest bulk/specialty oil distributor. I was going to try finding a used barrel until I found out the drum in new, unsullied condition was only $14.Lincoln PrecisionTig 275Miller 251Miller DialArc 250Bridgeport millHossfeld bender & diesLogan shaperJet 14 X 40 latheSouth Bend 9" 'C'Hypertherm 900Ellis 3000 band saw21"Royersford ExcelsiorTwo shops, still too many tools.
Reply:Well, I'll go ahead and call around to some of the auto parts & lube places around here for the 30g drums. I'd still like to find a sanke keg if possible however as it seems nicely suited to a project ( a still) and since I've never tried welding stainless, I figured it could be a fun learning experience. Thank you!
