    Hi Rick,

    The barrel I used was from a company called “Container Reclaimer” that sells used barrels and totes. I don’t know if they have any other locations or if they are just local.

    For used, I would recommend Craigslist, Nextdoor or other local ad listings for used barrels, but regardless of where you get one, I highly recommend making sure that it was only used for food-safe uses. Sometimes these types of barrels are used for chemicals, and I don’t think they’d ever be safe for compost.

    Otherwise, Home Depot has new ones, but they are more expensive. Use search terms such as shipping barrels, poly barrels, shipping containers, etc.

    As for the aerator, I’m not sure what you are referring to, but you can download the free plans that list everything along with photos and commonly used descriptions. That way you can bring the list to the hardware store and use it as a shopping list.

    I hope that helps,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,

    Watched your Youtube video about your “DYI Shaker Table.

    I must have watched 25 (or more) Youtube videos before finding yours, and I have to say, Yours is the BEST!

    As soon as your Youtube video was over, I purchased your “Shaker Table Plans & Tutorial Membership”

    And again, you did NOT disappoint! I watched every video and went through the PDF in one setting.

    I have to say, you make everything look simple!

    I’ll be building my own (just like yours) instead of buying one for $2500.00+

    I’m sure the pre-built metal ones are good, but this one should work just as well for a lot less.

    Thanks for creating all of the videos and PDF! Worth every penny!!!

    Lee
