Junk cleanup yielded a piece of 4mm corrugated steel sheet.
Just the right size for a replacement lid for the septic tank. The old concrete lid is crumbling away.
Drew a circle with a magnet, string and a nail and set up the plasma cutter.
This is the difficult part as we don't really have enough power for it. The 4-5mm is about the maximum I can do before the fuse blows and that is with the air compressor already offloaded to the generator.
It worked though and if you ever tried to cut a circle with an angle grinder you know it was worth the faff.
Hammered some flat bar from the scrap bin into a handle and sparkled that on, then some rust converter and a bit of paint.
Good enough for sitting out in a field where nobody sees it.
