I have tried using a 30 gallon steel barrel to change tires on and found it more frustrating than helpful. The wheel moves around too much to do much work. I am seriously thinking about buy one of those tire changing stands. It will get me off my knees and save my back.  I really like the idea of grinding a groove into the tire spoons, As soon as a I get a little time to spend a  little time in the shop it will get added to my to do list. thanks to all that have posted on this subject. I can alway learn something new.
