Great idea. Was there any steps to include a small vent hole or special cleaning involved. A good size as well. "top needs yellow leman's stripes" :)

Step 1: We started the project by removing the cover and snipping off its tabs. Now the cover can be easily lifted off.
Step 2: We bead-blasted the cover and painted it black.
Step 3: We then went to our local hardware store and picked out a decent looking handle.
Step 4: Gotta tell everyone what’s inside, right? We picked up a stencil kit from the same hardware store.
Step 5: After an hour and a $15 investment, we now have a cool, safe place to keep our dirty rags. Don’t forget to empty yours regularly.
Shop safety experts say you should keep dirty rags in a covered metal container. We were given this old Pennzoil lubricant metal barrel and decided to turn it into a rather cool-looking storage container for our dirty rags. You can find an old barrel like this at nearly any gas station or lube shop, probably for little or nothing. Of course, we should add that this barrel is not UL-approved or self-closing.
