An old residential oil drum, pretty much like this one, but rustier. Looks like it's pretty solid though, heavy gauge steel.
It's empty of course.

Stick it on ebay!!
scrap it and buy a stamp with the money. The scrap business aint what it used to be !
Cut the end off, turn it upright, fill it with compost and grow the best carrots in the western hemisphere. Ideal for keeping the carrot fly of
them

fill it with petrol (Yeah I know it's not legal but who gives a shit) and use it as storage. They way it's going prices will be over a pound
shortly
Lots of great ideas!
It's actually outside, and a BBQ was suggested by my wife (even though she doesn't want me to take it) A neighbor needs to get rid of it
within the week.
I'm surprised no one mentioned chopping it up and using the steel for all-purpose plate scrap.
Maybe a welding bench top? (what are welding bench tops made of usually?)
Put it outside the White House gates and run away with your fingers in your ears.

Put a jag engine in it and some wheels and race it

If you are going to go to the trouble of making a welding table, you want it to have a nicely flat top. Seems that tank is all curves?

I could make a 20 inch wide x 5 foot long table that is perfectly flat. The sides are flat, the top and bottom are curved.
Plus, I need welding practice so I could use the scrap to do all the basic beads and such.
I think SWMBO just OKed it as long as I chop it up and hide it ASAP, so I'm going to grab it as soon as I see my neighbor again!
Got it, chopped a big panel out of one side. It'll make a few nice tables and some planters or statuary for the garden.
I probably wouldn't do this again with a dirty old drum, but I'm glad I did this time. It was a mess inside and required lots of paper
towels and rubber gloves to clean it out.
