It looks like a bead of weld on sides and bottom. Think that is all that is holding it? If I carefully cut that bead it wouldn't hurt the safe.
I took all the wood out so I have a clear view of the safe inside the safe. It is welded in on six sides, lots of cutting. I decided to cut through top, went and bought a 7" angle grinder. I finally got deep enough I have a 1/4 x 2" hole. That steel is 1" thick. There is no cement sandwiched between 2 pieces of steel. I can see inside through that hole and see most of the bottom. Nothing inside unless it is against the sides where I can't see. I plan to get hole big enough to get inside and remove the plate on back of the lock, then I'll have questions for the group.
