I've about got a 3 bay compost bin done for my wife. It's a little overbuilt, but it should last a while. Sure is better than the thing she cobbled togeather out of some old shutters and styrofoam.
Still need to fabricate the doors. It's 8' long with three 30" cubic bins. 2x4 frames with a 2x6 base. All the joints were half lapped out of rough sawn cedar (all friggin 40 of 'em), and glued with TBIII. 1/4" wire mesh was stapled then edged with battens. The mesh is recessed on the back panel. I sure do want a shoulder plane now.
The doors will sit in a 45degree bevel on that bottom front rail. I haven't decided how to fasten them at the top. I was thinking with some removable dovetail keys, but I might just use some metal hardware.
