The base is dovetailed at the corners and the uprights are lapped in. I have to complicate everything.
I made a replacement stand for the compost bin - with dovetails!

I've never tried dovetails, I could only hope to do as well. I'd probably just do a corner brace and call it done, though.

Same here! The wood is thick and really wet right from the hardware store. I cut the joinery using panel saws because the teeth of my back saws were too fine. It came out pretty good, even if it's utilitarian.

I had that same compost tumbler, and the frame rusted away on mine as well!

how are these. I have seen them but don't know anyone that has used them.

They might have a newer model by now, but the tubular frame on this one was junk. It always wanted to fold up on itself, and it rusted away in the weather.

no I mean the rolling compost bins in general. I only ever experienced piles. Obviously its easier to mix but im just sorta wondering how convenient it feels. assuming you did piles at some point of course. if not then it may be hard to relate.

are you going to stain it or put linseed oil on it? or just let it age?

It's pressure treated and it's going to sit out exposed 24/7, so it's just going to turn grey :-(
