We accumulated a lot of compost quickly since moving into our house and it's become time to do something about it. This unwieldy barrel got designed on the fly but I think it will work. circle traced from inverted trash can
end parts joined with dowels 
modified radial saw for increased ripping safety. twenty-four 4" lengths of 2x4 got beveled to eight degrees on each side. 
these 1-1/2in. sections of pipe and fittings seem perfect for the axels
stationary supports
lifting and simultaneously aligning the axels was not easy. turning this behemoth is also not easy. it will need handles around one end.
