Uses for old DE filter?

[SHADEZ]

I want to get a new filter system so the question arises are there any other possible uses for an old DE filter? Other than useing the base as a pot for a plant .. and what about the grids ... hmm window shades ..

My dad converted one into a grill and used it for years after it was removed from a pool.

I assume this was one of the old stainless models?

Maybe Kingsford could market it as Char-o-glas!

Yeah, it was a stainless tank.

Some ideas - not fully fleshed out

Fermentation tank

Massive wort chiller

An ungainly boil kettle

The strangest serving keg I have ever seen

A bright beer filter - puts all those people messing around with plate filters to shame.
