How do I make a dome top trunk into a table?

Question:

but i think that involves a lot of welding, which i can't do. I have debated removing the lid and setting a piece of wood in it and staining it, but i would still like to be able to use it for storage. any ideas on how to make a flat lid that will still open for this thing?
