    Just the info I've been looking for. Tried a jigsaw but that didn't work very well. Need to drill some big holes in the bottom for drainage. Going to use it to make compost. Will try hole saws that fit my drill.

    Ya using a skill saw makes it very easy. But it actually took me a long time since the battery I have for the saw is pretty bad. So the saw kept dying while I was cutting it.

    I done this with a Ryobi 18v. Did fine. Maybe your saw is not sharp. Maybe a weak battery.

    It's way better to cut it from the top like open a cane rather than cut from the side. The barrel will become squashy in the long term without its core ring structure removed. I use a jigsaw to cut from the top. Then putting cringe on it. Much better.

    yes that is true. It definitely makes the tank stronger doing it the way you mentioned. I did it this way because I wanted to use the top as a lid. But if I use tanks like this again I might just do what you recommended.
