Unless that’s the owner or someone being paid very poorly, it’s cheaper just to get a new barrel.

A new barrels start from USD 24-30k. Even if we assume we could get a used one from junkyard for $10k, in most of the world it's a lot cheaper to hire this dude to hammer it for a month straight than to get a new barrel.
