Rotating Drum Composter
Last Updated: 2008-06-22
This creation consists of only a few different types of materials :
Most of the steel was welded together and the plastic pieces were fastened to the steel items with 10-24 stainless hardware. The hinge/latch mechanism is two EPDM 'bungee' cords bolted to the drum with 5/16" hardware.
- Pieces of 1/8" flatbar from my workshop scraps
- Galvanized tubing salvaged from a friend's discarded fence
- Angle iron salvaged from found bedframes
- New 1" thick HDPE sheet
- 60 Gallon HDPE Drum
