nice simple design, good to see !

What a great use for an old barrel, Every gardener needs one. I got my tumbler used at a garage sale (Got real lucky people quit gardening), If /when it breaks I will build one like this as it is low cost option. Very glad you decided to relocated those door latches. Thank you for sharing.

Brilliant idea 😊

Cheaper option. Create door. DONE! Set green barrel of floor, use wedge to keep in place, roll with foot to mix when needed.

I need to make one of these, thanks for the tutorial 👍

Well done. Alot of work involved.

nice video

I love the concept. I really can appreciate the wood working of the stand, seeing how I have little experience working with wood. I definitely will give one a go using your ideas. Thanks!

I made a revolving compost maker from a blue 200 litre drum.( I painted it grey to increase the heat. Unbelievable, I filled it up and got about 80 litres of very nice compost in just under 3 weeks. Amazing. Didn't bother with a handle as its easy to turn by hand.

good job

The old barrel looks like it came to good use!

beautiful coconuts in the background

Where did you get all your power tools? I see Dewalt... did you import them?

I'm working on something similar. After living with it awhile, how do you like it? Does it work well enough? Any changes you'd make?

6/29/21-I made a similar tumbler and used several latches to keep the door/opening closed but the doors buckled and I tried adding pieces to close the gap , but it does not close very well . Did your doors hold up or buckle ? If they did not warp or buckle ,did u do anything to prevent them from buckling/warping? Any ideas how I can fix my doors? Also made the holes too large on my barrel and compost falls out .Any ideas how I can close the holes ? Is their some sort of patch material/adhesive I could use to fill the holes? Do u think I could use some old screen material and glue pieces of the screen to the holes to cover up the holes so only air can come out.What kind of glue can u suggest I use that will glue screen material to the plastic barrel or should I drill small screw holes and attach the screen material with the small screws?What kind of screw could I use? thank u.

How well did it work? Would you make any improvements? How many days did it take to make compost?

What are the dimensions of your door ?? If you build another, what dimensions would you recommend, or keep the same ??

Why add a motor? Do you plan on having it tumble all day? I would think a motor is overkill and unnecessary. That aside, I do find inspiration in this design.

no way $20. its **. I just went to the store to buy the nuts and bolts and nut are $23.50 without tax and the bolts are $17.80 $46.89 with tax. the Barrel was 5.00 the 2x4 to build the frame was 76.50 and the outdoor wood screws 17.89. hinges 5.99 each Lach z- zway to build for $20.00

Get a tripod and set it where it covers what your doing . This moving everywhere makes me DIZZY! Otherwise good information. 😊
