Eco-DIY: recycle a washing machine drum into a cool ottoman

Washing machine drums are interesting looking pieces of equipment, but what are they good for once your washing machine has spun its last cycle? Well, quite a number of things. I’ve seen them used as planters, made into gorgeous glowing tables,and now esprit cabane has made one into a very stylish ottoman on wheels, with full instructions.

Can you think of anything else you can make with an old washing machine drum? Suggestions in comments please.
