Sounds like you've got it planned out well. Good luck to you! Looking forward to seeing your photos!

Depending on your quality of stainless your magnets may not stick. Send me round trip airfare and I'll stop out and give you a hand. I'll buy the Guiness. Keep us posted, sounds like a good build.

AaronPo · Apr 5, 2014

did you drill a ton of holes in the bottom of the drum? I can't quite see...If yes, wondering how that will hold up..also if it causes heat issues..
