Liked the video especially your wife turning the barrel, she reminded me of a contestant on the old Price is Right spinning the large price wheel trying to get the $1.00 mark. 😀😎

thanks !! obrigado !!

That looks good. Definitely easier to turn than my commercial version.

good job!! bom trabalho!! i'm from Brazil

The problem comes when it rolls on itself and its whole weight puts a strain on the wheels holding it in place while rolling: lot of mass resting on small surfaces means excessive pressure on the system. More wheels in contact help with the problem. Great video and channel, just found out about it. I myself am in the process of building a third option I imagined while trying to sort out the tumbling - rolling - overweight situation, please let me know what you think about it: no rolling or tumbling needed when you screw some pieces of wood to the inner axis. On the lid side you will fix making a 90° "L" shape lever to rotate the axis, mixing the materials inside. It must be an L lever instead of a more practical T in order for the lid to come off easily. Another option is to make the handles removable. For example, boring a hole in the axis where a broom handle cut to size will get the T shape and be removed when the time to unload comes. The axis is made of heavy duty cylindrical shape wood to hold the strain when filled up and the lever is used. Most of the wood used is recycled and treated to withstand the harsh conditions inside with the Japanese technic called Yakisugi or Shou Sugi Ban: burn the wood to help keep it water-proof and vermin-proof for longer periods of time. This way we avoid any treatment that could have a negative effect on the compost, while going green on the container as much as the product. Max recycling, Min polluting and poisoning products. The barrel is almost done, the structure still a WIP. I want to do as you did, which is to unload directly to the wheelbarrow underneath. The axis across to tilt the barrel I thought of moving it towards the back instead of centering it to make the barrel unstable and easier to unload when full. Once emptied it will be light enough to reverse the process easily. A pulley attached to the top front of the barrel, by the lid end, will help to a smooth transition.

My tumbler is steel and 55 gallons. It's heavy once it's full, but I can still tumble it without hurting myself.
