This is the best DIY compost bin I've seen so far and it looks great too! Thanks for sharing your video on how you made yours. I'll be making one soon.
This is good. I made one just like it and it works great UNTIL it starts to get full. Then even though the compost inside fills only a 1/4-1/3 full it is HEAVY and then the casters put perma dents in the barrel and you can hardly roll it. I even put on several handles to pull on. So.......... back to the draw board. Breeds flies like crazy too. Not sure if it is worth it or not yet.
Hello Mike, I think I brought them from Lowes, stainless steel screws and nuts. Assorted pack from Amazon should work. Try in Lowes if the assorted pack does not work for you.

Great tutorial. How well does it work and would you do anything different?
works well, need to rotate daily, I wouldn't change anything for my simple use case

I could fill only half before it got heavy, no damage to bin with the rollers yet :-), don't think we can fill more than half of it
Do you use the compost only for plants or also for growing vegetables?
For veggie plants
Wont the compost be too wet since u dont have holes other than the sides?
We don't add lot of water to compost
