Hello fellow tinkerer
At work I was driving holes in nitrous tanks before throwing them in the recycling bin and every time I think, man I wish I had a project idea for these 1/4” wall steel containers, it seems like such a waste.
Does any one have some project ideas?
I look and think, I can totally make a Hugh over pressurized super soaker that could cut pallets
Maybe make a compressor surge tank by putting a bunch in series. 
I’ve seem them used as large wind chimes. Cut off the bottom and suspend them with the neck portion. It can also be a gong or bell with a clapper.

They’d be fun to shoot at! I’m imagining that “ting!” sound would be really satisfying lol
I also have welding on my “eventual skills to learn list”, you could maybe weld them into an art sculpture 
Cut it In half top to bottom, rotate it 90 and use it for a snow plow on your robotic plow. Or as a half pipe for your fingerboard.
Tiny fire pit, like the Solo Stove Mesa?
Or a rocket stove? Is that kind of the same thing?
Maybe attach some EMT and fasten some bolts to make rolling lawn aerator?
1/4" thick steel, that’s a nice wall for firepit/hot stuff.
Become one of those YouTubers that collects scrap metal and melts them down into ingots lol
Potato gun.
Was my first thought, but I’ve never seen potatoes that big.
Sawdust cannon it is.
I can see it now,
wife:why has our gas bill quadrupled?
Me: huh, no idea. I’m going to go smelt some more metal on the patio.
I like the aerator idea, they are kind of small being anywhere from 3 inches to 6 inch diameter tubes. Seems kind of small for fire pit thing. I’ll have to look it up.
Or you could fill them with sand and add the center shaft to run behind a lawnmower make them into lawn rollers. My neighbor has one and puts patterns in his lawn with it. No idea how heavy his is or if it would need to even be filled.
