Composter... Last one for the week, I promise!

Post by Oldsarge »

Trying to make a go of it in the shop, we may have a few wholesale buyers for these.... I think it turned out great, lots of really good features. Any feedback for improvements are always welcome!

We oriented the door so we could use the bungs to make removeable/replaceable mixer bars... The EMT 3/4" fittings screw right into the threaded type bungs, and we drilled a hole on the opposite side for fittings.

Great idea! Would you be willing to share the files for this one?

My son has started a business picking up food scraps from homes and businesses in the Cleveland area then taking it to various community gardens for composting. He uses bicycles with special trailers for the pick-ups. Right now they are manually turning over the compost in large wooden bins. These would be a big help and more efficient I think.

That's awesome! Good for your son! I'm out of the shop for the next day or two, but as soon as I get there I'll post the files and maybe a little how-to... They work really well, and will last for years!

Thanks, That would be great. He was actually just on the front page of the Plain Dealer newspaper in Cleveland yesterday. A nice article about the business.
