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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hi Donna. Thank you for watching. I switched over to stainless steel spring loaded toggle latches. I put a link in the description. There are not any glues I could think of that would work well with PE plastic. You could maybe bolt on on small pieces of the same material or other pliable plastic with 4mm SS nuts and bolts, and then drill smaller hole in the. It depends on how many holes you have to cover.
It works great Andrew. Yes I modified by putting on toggle latches like these amzn.to/2MgY30G Also I would make it simpler/cheaper with a plastic pipe instead. Usually between 14 and 28 days
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!

Cheaper option. Create door. DONE! Set green barrel of floor, use wedge to keep in place, roll with foot to mix when needed.
It's easier to get the dirt out if it's on a stand. Preferably one high enough to roll a wheelbarrow underneath. 😉

I am planning to make a simpler version of this. Thank you for watching

Thank you Bryan. I need a second one or a third. This one was filled in 2 weeks. I will make a cheaper and simpler version
nice video
Where did you get all your power tools? I see Dewalt... did you import them?
The table saw is 230V and sent in a balabayan box from Ireland. The band saw was given to me by my father and I shipped it here with the wood lathe
How does it wash
With a hose
Get a tripod and set it where it covers what your doing . This moving everywhere makes me DIZZY! Otherwise good information. 😊
Thanks for the tip and you are correct. That was a long time ago and makes me dizzy too. .
Brilliant idea 😊

Yes. you are correct, Dustin. It was just an idea that it would tumble itself a few revolutions every 2 or 3 days on a timer.

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?
Just changed the clasps. I need a second one 😊
Well done. Alot of work involved.
There is a simpler version. I meant to make and record (with multicam and tripods). Thank you for watching
What are the dimensions of your door ??
If you build another, what dimensions would you recommend, or keep the same ??
400 mm wide x 300mm arc. Size is good for me
I need to make one of these, thanks for the tutorial 👍
Thank you Jon. I will make another one with a plastic pipe for the pivot. .... Pascal
👍
How well did it work? Would you make any improvements? How many days did it take to make compost?
It works great Andrew. Yes I modified by putting on toggle latches like these amzn.to/2MgY30G Also I would make it simpler/cheaper with a plastic pipe instead. Usually between 14 and 28 days
In stainless: amzn.to/3dqzdr0

Thank you. I will make a more simple and cheaper one soon.
I have tried this project and it really works.Thank you for sharing.
The old barrel looks like it came to good use!
Hi girls. Have not been online for a while. Will catch up next week.
nice simple design, good to see !
Thank you for watching
beautiful coconuts in the background
Thank you Rafal. I sowed them when I moved here 10 years ago.. They are called King Coconuts (Thembili) and are native of Sri Lanka. Very sweet
This video gave me anxiety
Sorry about that
Great way of doing this. The video just kinda stressed me out. Keep up the good work!!
@@CoyoteCarChannel I will remake a simpler version of it with 2" pipe and better sound 😣
good job
Thank you
