anyone have any good links for a good heavy duty tumbler that even i could build?

i've always used no touch piles here, but the family (and waste) accumulates faster than i'm able to compost right now, without a tumbler. buying a professionally made tumbler is out of the question, so have to rely on good old fashioned engineering skills which i am clearly lacking.

ideally i would make two of them, and keep them going continuously so they need to be simple yet solid.

Here are a few different versions of a horizontal tumbler with different takes on stands

and here is a double tumbler design

I'm not a big fan of this design, but it would work I suppose

thanks i will watch them throughout the day. personally i don't really care to build things so i either need something extremely basic for me to put together, or a good vid like these to be able to recruit some help.
