Cut your shape
I used an oxyacetylene torch to cut the tree from the drum top in about 30 minutes.

However, it took me 2 hours to review my welding class book on torch starting, safety, pressures, and such, then properly assemble and inspect, and test the system before proceeding - yes, Mom and Dad, I'm being safe (I'm 34 and they still worry, they're sweet.).

I hammered the foliage out to direct the light down, and gave it a quick wire brush.

Obligatory - please do not use welding equipment unless you have proper training and are using the proper safety equipment.
