That is a good design for a tumbler. Does the door stay closed when you are rotating the barrel?

The door stays closed so far. The wood across the top of the door was added to help with that. I think having the bolts horizontally at the top helps keep the sides from bulging. We'll see what happens when it's full!
ReplyDeleteI like the stand you made for yours!
