Big Poppa Down Under

Hello from over in Sydney, Australia!

Got two BPS Kits on order for me and a mate - hopefully they arrive this week.

Also sourced a couple of new crevice free 304 Stainless Steel 44 Gal drums (imperial so same as your 55 Gal)

Better not rust anytime soon!

Anyways hoping to have a build day this Saturday.

welcome I have great memories playing music in sydney (jazz gallerie, I think and Metropole? sound right been years) hanging at a little restaurant at bondi beach where you picked your steak out and cooked it yourself!

Thanks mate,

Yeah can't wait for the kits and barrels to arrive.

This is them:





Also - only picked up the standard kit from supplier in Aus but having read these forums a bit also put on order the Ash Catcher.

Welcome!
You're going to love it! Take your time drilling those holes and use SHARP bits.

A little trick I used on the step bit was to use Blue Dawn dish liquid as a lubricant on the step drill bit. I am sure that stainless is going to be a treat to drill through.

You will love your drum for sure when you get it done.

Thanks for the tips about drilling slow and using dishwashing liquid. Don't have Blue Dawn over here but Google tells me it's a company we call Fairy!

Kits and drums have all arrived so assembly day tomorrow!!
