What can I transform this into?

I have this beautiful copper/ brown outdoor cooler that weights a ton, that for the life of me I can't see the forest for the trees. Planter too obvious. Help! I have a shop full of tools and I'm very handy so the sky the limit! Below are some pictures.
The design to the left is what the hinged lid rests on.
17 from lip to lip
15 from lip to lip. 21 in deep. Insert for ice and beverages.
Steel pegs for the yard. Can be removed for flat hard surfaces use
21 in wide x 20. 45 in tall
20in
I would use it as a bottom and turn this into a table. It would look industrial and unique. Otherwise clean it and keep it outside as a cooler for decoration. Or use it as a planter. Spray paint it in some other color and voila it will look so beautiful.

If you are able, could you cut down the top so it could close - or maybe add a round top to the cooler bin??? It would make an awesome parcel drop for your front door. I've been looking for something sturdy, waterproof and heavy that I could leave at my door and latch closed so that no small parcels or packages would be visible from the street.
A firepit immediatly came to mind but then i wondered about the small gaps along the base of the sides, perhaps dig it partially into the ground if you like the idea of a firepit. Mind you a base of a table appeals to me too!! Have fun with whatever you make :)
I agree with Jan Clark's idea the parcel/package drop would be awesome
Fire pit came to mind first off
If you already have a fire pit...modify it to store wood. It is a lovely piece as it is maybe go farmhouse with the color and keep it as a cooler.
2 things came to mind. You could put a top on it and make it into a table or side table or turn it into a fire pit.
