I’m planning a single-drum compost tumbler that is similar to the one shown here
http://www.instructables.com/id/Doub...rum-Composter/
What I would prefer to do is make an A-frame from 4×4s and a 2×6 crosspiece. The drum would be mounted on a pipe that would go through the 2×6 braces.
I would prefer not to use big lag bolts and such on this project… I would prefer not to use any metal at all if I can get away with it, actually.
I figured that I would miter the 4×4s so that they would join up at the top but I can’t think of a good joinery method for up there beyond a big old lag bolt.
If I just bolt the 2×6 onto the 4×4s then it should be strong enough to support the weight but I don’t think that it would be very attractive.
How would YOU do it?
