Rolling Compost Tumbler From Trash

I needed a compost tumbler and did not want to pay upto 100 dollars. For a plastic barrel!
so i  found
Some Hinges (from old cupboard)
A Plastic Barrel (found on side of the road)
A Rolling garden hose stand (had one rusting out in the yard)
Some kind of Lock (replaced deadbolt on door used old one)
A handle (this was in the garage no idea)
A hodgepodge of mis nuts and bolts (had jars of these)
Two pieces of PVC tubing the same length of the barrel (i have tons of misc PVC my grandfather collected)
Four really long screws
Some Wire (cloths hanger)
Two Really long bolts for the reattachment of the wheels
Dark colored spray paint

TOOLS NEEDED
drill
screw driver
wrench
socket wrench
pliers
your own two hands
hacksaw

Step 1 Step One: Disassemble the Rolling Garden Hose Stand

Pretty much everyone has one of these rusting in there yard.
  Take all the screws out
keep the two sides the wheels and the handle , and the "gear" parts with the crank
Keep the sides the wheels the hose guard pretty much all the plastic pieces, i recycled all the metal parts and used the small hose for a floor sink.

Great idea, I was just wondering if stuff would fall out when you turn it - what about if you used two barrels and cut the lid from the other one just a bit larger to overlap the hole cut out from the first one - does this matter at all, I mean is fallout a problem? What about a small sliding opening to put stuff into instead of opening the whole thing up?

i thought i was going to have that problem too, and i was going to use some duck tale to make a flap around the door, but it turned out not to be necessary nothing really falls out of it.
