Started cutting of the tops of the kegs this weekend. Also drilled the holes for the couplings and welded them into place.

It's taken me longer to convert these kegs than it did to build the brew stand... uggg.... upon first hydrostatic test, they call leaked emensely... it's taken me two weeks just to get two of the kegs to stop leaking via the following process: weld, grind, fill with water, repeat. This picture shows all three kegs leaking and the video is even funnier...
