If nothing else it would make a great smoker.

It could be cleaned and reused as a fuel tank. |

Aunt had a rental property with her kicking out the tenants after not paying rent for several months, though she tried working with the husband/wife more than once. They kept coming up with excuse after excuse. Anyway, was asked to go with her to that place after they moved out. Got A LOT of free stuff, including 6, 5 gallon propane tanks, many of 'em filled. Also got one of those propane using torches used for burning weeds, etc. And via Craigslist, more than once, people are giving chickens/roosters away and those small pigs that don't grow big, along with rabbits. Those are found in the free and pet sections.

Chickens almost weekly. Pigs not quite that often. Lots of people with dogs and cats for sale "rehoming fee" is not FREE so I flag those ads in the free section.

With eggs going for $7 for 18 of 'em, been watching some YT videos on how to build chicken coops from pallets, which you can find for free on Craigslist. It's also why I'm looking at building a double barrel wood stove from 2 metal 55 gallon barrels.

Lots of "pallet building" ideas online - some of them even look usable.
Certainly can't beat the price ;-)

Already have a radial arm and table saw. Looking at getting Harbor Freights planer as there's also YT videos on converting cable spools. Figure I'll start of with easy stuff, like bird houses.

Bird houses are easy ;-) I gave bird house kits to the grands (both under 10 at the time) one Christmas and then fired up the kerosene heater to have the garage warm enough to work in. The next time we drove up to visit them, I took a sharpened post hole digger and a sharp shooter shovel so their dad could dig holes for the posts the bird houses were to be on. Pretty much made a family affair out of those gifts ;-) One grand was very excited a few weeks later when some birds "moved in" the bird house she had built ;-)
